Citizen Debate : Artificial Intelligence & Law, Perspectives From Europe And Canada(15) - AI Summary

Professors Mireille Hildebrandt (VUB, Brussels) and Catherine Régis (Université de Montréal – Mila, Canada) will present some of the major current questions around Law and Artificial Intelligence. How to bring AI applications under the rule of law, and what fundamental rights assessments must be put in place? Does the GDPR set the right tone and how can AI development be aligned with individual rights and freedoms, including rights to non-discrimination, privacy, due process and the presumption of innocence? Mireille Hildebrandt will focus on the concepts of robust AI (in terms of reliability and resilience) and robust law (in terms of the rule of law), and discuss how robust AI could support the rule of law and vice versa. She will also give an overview of future developments in the legal regulation of AI, and explore the role of ethical guidelines and charters, through their formalization process and their potential for legal developments.
