Abstract

The use of different techniques encompassed by the broad concept of AI provides many social gains, at the same time it is capable of violating individual and fundamental rights of a Democratic State of Law, by various means. Given these potential problems, questions must be asked about the need for the construction of state regulatory mechanisms capable of enhancing benefits and reducing risks associated with the development of technologies. Therefore, this paper has the followubg central and guiding question: how and to what extent the State, as an intervening-regulating agent, should/could act in the context of technological development, especially with regard to the production and growing application of Artificial Intelligence systems? To achieve the proposed objective, the paper uses some conceptual and methodological tools provided by the field of study of Law & Economics. The paper, therefore, is divided in three parts: the first topic discusses the concept of AI for regulatory purposes. Next, the fundamentals for the construction of AI regulation are analyzed. Finally, the role of the State is investigated, starting with an analysis of the costs and benefits of a regulation of Artificial Intelligence systems. Finally, it is concluded that there is a need to establish a dialogue between different sectors, for the construction of a regulatory structure that considers specific practical criteria in order to operationalize forms of regulation.
