Law Commission of England and Wales: Artificial Intelligence and the Law: a discussion paper
The paper aims to raise awareness of legal issues regarding AI, prompting wider discussion of the topic, and to act as a step towards identifying those areas most in need of law reform.
The paper explains what AI is and how it works, and considers how it might raise legal issues in private, public and criminal law under the following themes:
AI autonomy and adaptiveness.
Interaction with and reliance on AI.
AI training and data.
The paper does not contain proposals for law reform.
The Law Commission has already completed work relating to or involving AI, including on automated vehicles, and with respect to AI deepfakes in its project on intimate image abuse. The Comission also has an ongoing project relating to AI, on aviation autonomy, as well as a pending project on product liability, which will consider AI. The Commission anticipates that AI will increasingly impact the substance of our law reform work, including, potentially, as the focus of future projects.
