Analysis of Artificial Intelligence: A Legal Perspective

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a current reality and is present in nearly every aspect of daily life. Just a few years ago, it seemed distant, uncertain, and possible only in science fiction. To grasp its impact, imagine a world without email, smartphones, instant messaging, social networks, video games, autonomous cars, robots, or automated machines—without them, we would essentially return to the modern era of the early twentieth century.

This article defines the concept of Artificial Intelligence, beginning with its current context, its uses, and the way it has achieved relevance. It also presents, through the historical method, a documentation of the background of Artificial Intelligence, emphasizing the key moments that shaped it. Subsequently, the analytical and exegetical methods are applied to examine the use of AI in the context of international instruments, incorporating concepts such as Big Data (BD). A brief analysis of various transnational corporations employing systems based on BD and AI follows. The article concludes with a discussion of the progressive and far-reaching vision of regulatory frameworks.
