| Resumo: | This chapter develops a network of legal concepts as a framework for risks arising from the construction and implementation of autonomous artificial intelligence systems (AISs). The chapter examines the interrelationship between legal autonomy, legal governance, legal agency, moral agency, delegated agency, harm, and liability. To do so, it broadly distinguishes between Common law, Civil law, and Ethics. This conceptual network is re-examined in view of recent research in ethics and legal theory -including classical 20th-century legal theory, Artificial Intelligence & Law (AIL), and Law & Technology (LT). Computational and digital law as a systemic device, as meta-technology, and as a moral agent will be explored. This network of concepts sheds light on the meaning and functional sense of the basic concept of autonomy in the fields of law, multi-agent systems, and the sciences of design. Thus, its legal sense stems from a network of related concepts rather than from a lexical definition. Different levels of autonomy will be identified, and the chapter also shows that a common convergence on ethics has taken place in the last twenty years. Thus, the cognitive approach of value alignment and the emergence of ethical and legal ecosystems as regulatory devices in smart platforms and applications can frame the analysis of risks to be performed on them. The chapter ends with a working scheme on autonomy, moral agency, delegation, AI governance, and AI value chains. |
