Information Technology Law (IT Law) is a research area concerned with Ethics and Law for Information Technologies. The area has recently gained increasing interest, due to the rapid and pervasive deployment of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies within industrial products that we can find in our everyday life.
The first central concern is the demand of clear legal and ethical guidelines to channel this development. The research area is receiving worldwide attention not only due to the disruptive impact it may have on the labour markets, but also because of the complex socio-ethical and legal questions it poses in combination with its manifold and complex technological challenges.
The second central concern is the relationship between humans and AI technology: there is a potential danger of raising negative attitudes in society towards the development and deployment of modern artificial-intelligence technology (e.g., by often poorly informed, biased media reports), while there is at the same time an education gap regarding the actual state-of-the-art and the predictable future in the development of intelligent autonomous systems. There’s no reason AI can’t take ethical actions/moral decisions, but a pure artifact, with no human component, should never be held to be the moral agent or the legally responsible party; justice and responsibility are concepts by which we humans organize our own societies, and which rely on human interests, drives, and capacities in order to steer behavior in ways appropriate to maintain those societies.
Law and Ethics for Science and Technology aims at developing and studying means to make the use of AI technologies in critical areas in a safe, sustainable and responsible way. Ethics-by-Design concerns the methods, algorithms and tools to endow autonomous agents with the capabilities to reason about the ethical aspects of their decisions, as well as the methods, tools and formalisms to guarantee that agents’ behavior remains within given ethical and moral bounds.
