Abstract

The 2023 Yearbook of Socio-Economic Constitutions, dedicated to ‘Law and the Governance of Artificial Intelligence’, explores the timely and complex issues surrounding the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. The volume delves into the transformative potential of AI in various sectors such as law enforcement, healthcare, and recruitment, while also highlighting the growing global concern regarding the risks posed by AI. The contributors examine the evolving landscape of AI governance, discussing the challenges of regulating AI, the role of law as a governance tool, and the disruptive effects of AI on existing governance regimes. The volume scrutinizes the proposed EU AI Act and its implications, as well as the need to reconceptualize fundamental legal principles in response to AI advancements. Furthermore, it addresses the concentration of power among private corporations in AI development and the associated risks to individual rights and the rule of law. Ultimately, the volume underscores the crucial role of law in navigating the complexities of AI governance and calls for a nuanced understanding of the implications of AI for society.

It should be noted that the panel’s recommendation was not that AI should not be regulated, but that “policies should be designed to encourage helpful innovation, generate and transfer expertise, and foster broad corporate and civic responsibility for addressing critical societal issues”. Nonetheless, the overall tenor of the Report is that one should be slow to impose regulatory constraints on the development of AI technology.

On a meta-level, it is quite feasible that future legislation already today is prepared by, or with the use of, AI technology in some way, shape or form.

Both the Council and the European Parliament proposed versions that included a section on regulating what the Council referred to as ‘General Purpose AI’ and the European Parliament ‘Foundational Models’. The fact that the institutions could not even agree on what these kinds of AI systems should be called perhaps tells its own story about the difficulties of governing AI.
