Controllable Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Law

Beschreibung

This book broaches the newly crafted concept of algorithmic dictatorship that draws on a plethora of human biases that creep into the algorithm and feeds into an automated decision that comes to the expense of citizens´ lives, freedoms, health, property, fair lending, and credit scoring. This book sheds a keen light on the slew of reasons in view of which artificial intelligence should be both interpretable and controllable, as opposed to merely explainable. The reason for that is straightforward: the skewed data baked into the bigoted algorithms—machine biases—spawns harrowing effects with which criminal justice has been grappling for a long-haul/drawn-out. Tallyingly, and perhaps unsurprisingly, law enforcement evinces biases that run along both gender and race lines. No surprise springs from the fact that computer-generated algorithms that propel predictive policing are often flagged as tools whereby racial discrimination abounds. It should not therefore be pegged as flabbergasting that this sort of shady algorithmic governance is a byproduct of a grueling algorithmic dictatorship that is shaping up to crumble the foundations of Rule of Law upon which stands modern societies. This is one of the key takeaways of this book. Disturbingly enough, brain–computer interfaces are poised to be converted into shady tools to collate/gauge thoughts, emotions, sentiments, and crime-related information that would be otherwise inaccessible to the governments’, rogue nations’, or unscrupulous actors’ prying eyes. Much to our dismay, an eerily dystopian world is unfolding before our very eyes. This is the gist of transhumanism—a byproduct of convolutional neural networks that revolve around deep learning genetic algorithms—that will overhaul the current legal landscape beyond recognition. This book charts the path ahead as to draw set-in-stone boundaries to prevent jurisdictions from careening into the chaos of genetic plutocracy that should be wished away.

“Professor Hugo Luz dos Santos’s notion of a “Controllable Artificial Intelligence” is central in this regard. Rather than rejecting algorithmic tools wholesale, he proposes a governance framework that makes AI systems interpretable, auditable, and amenable to legal scrutiny. In sum, Controllable Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Law is a landmark contribution to the emerging literature on AI governance. It blends doctrinal insight with philosophical depth and technological fluency. For scholars and students of law and economics, it offers both a warning and a blueprint. The warning: that without legal safeguards, AI may exacerbate the very problems it purports to solve. The blueprint: that through accountability, interpretability, and careful institutional design, we can harness computational power without sacrificing the values that make law legitimate in the first place.” (Professor Nuno Garoupa, Professor of Law and Faculty Director of Graduate Studies, George Mason University, Antonin Scalia Law School)

“In Controllable Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Law, Prof. Hugo Luz dos Santos not only gives us a scholarly and philosophical treatise on this phenomenon, but an essential and practical reckoning that our legal institutions must face during such a significant technological transformation. This is a book precisely written at a pivotal time of change, when our legal practices must catch-up to scientific innovations and our ethical concepts must keep-up with the power of computers. In the powerfully interdisciplinary style for which he is known, Prof. Hugo Luz dos Santos meticulously connects classical legal theory, ethics and critical studies, with novel social and technological analysis. The result is an original and pragmatic investigation that elevates our understanding of AI in jurisprudence. This book’s contributions are wide-ranging and, in many respects, groundbreaking. It masterfully illuminates the underexplored intersections between AI and critical legal studies.” (Prof. Ronald Montague Silley (European Executive Co-Dean China-EU School of Law at the China University of Political Science and Law, Hamburg, Germany/Beijing, China)

“Controllable Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Law is a landmark contribution to the ongoing conversation about AI’s place in our legal order. It lights the way forward by outlining how we can controllably integrate AI into our legal frameworks without sacrificing our core values. I have no doubt that readers will find it as illuminating and thought-provoking as I did.” (Peter Chi Hin Chan, Associate Professor at the School of Law of City University of Hong Kong)

“Hugo’s book is a timely legal research and publication that can provide answers to many of our queries and obliviate our doubts when encountered with AI and living an AI life. The author advocated “a controllable AI amenable to be interpretable, accountable and fair” and “relevant stakeholders must track the quality of the dataset from which machine learning algorithms were built to foster algorithmic fairness” and “to audit the pearls of algorithmic wisdom”, which is applaudable to me. This book is a very good exploration of what has been done and may do in the future when AI is still a fast-moving and developing area. To be better prepared for an AI era, this is a book I would like to highly recommend.” (Guangjian Tu (Professor of Law, Faculty of Law of the University of Macau)
