International Responsibility for Damages Caused by Artificial Itelligence Technologies.

Abstract

This research addresses the legal and political challenges imposed by the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence applications in various fields, particularly in the field of international relations and decision-making.
The study highlights the exceptional power of artificial intelligence to analyze vast amounts of data and anticipate outcomes, which affects the balance of power and surpasses human analytical capabilities. It also sheds light on the extent to which artificial intelligence enjoys - or lacks- legal personality and the implications of that from a legal perspective.
Moreover, the study warns of the dangers of autonomous artificial intelligence, emphasizing that it is not merely a developing form of smart tools but rather exhibits independent and unpredictable behavior, especially in the context of military warfare. This is particularly concerning given the current existence of highly destructive autonomous weapons.
On the legal side, the research focuses on addressing the issue of international and criminal responsibility for the resulting actions of these systems.
The study concludes by emphasizing the urgent need to establish a theoretical framework that regulates artificial intelligence on both the international and regional levels. This framework should include binding legal texts and ethical policies to ensure peaceful use and to address the escalating challenges arising from these emerging technologies.
