Learning unit contents
This course will discuss the legal questions related to the regulation of artificial intelligence (AI), a matter of intense acuity with technological development and medium-term marketing services. Amongst the numerous examples that may illustrate this trend, the most emblematic is probably the autonomous car without driver, developed by Google. The development of AI raises profound theoretical questions - opportunity of regulation in a context of technological innovation, the level of regulation (international / local), type of control (self-regulation / binding regulatory, etc.), but also practical ones: rights of AI, AI liability, intellectual property of AI, AI uses for non-commercial purposes, etc. Brand new, the course provides an overview of emerging legal issues related to the emergence of AI and robots.
