AI on TRIAL
Foreword by
SR. ADV. R. VENKATARAMANI
Learned Attorney General for India
Hon'ble Vice-President of India
AI on Trial is a forward-looking and probably the first of its kind project that examines the nexus between AI and legal systems, underlining the pressing requirement for obligation, culpability, and systems of governance. The book carefully covers AI’s key principles, culpability assignment, and legal hurdles throughout seven chapters. In a nutshell, it analyzes biases in AI, basic rights, and the intricacies of intellectual property concerns of AI-generated content, suggesting solutions such as a “Machine-Created Intellectual Assets Act”. The book analyzes AI’s legal personhood, intentionality, and agency, calling on the Turing Test and international approaches. It also addresses models of civil and criminal liability, intermediary duties, and concerns connected to product liability. A significant chapter offers the idea of ‘safe harbour’ for AI, examining its repercussions for innovation and governance. The book finishes by examining AI’s influence on key fields such as healthcare and free speech, supporting equitable and balanced regulation.
