Survival of the Fittest? AI and its Different Regulatory Models

Abstract

Prof. Peter Hay is a regular visitor to Budapest, Hungary. He gives excellent lectures on conflict of laws, with a particular focus on the nuances of jurisdiction. At the same time, many of us are avid readers of his German textbook US-Amerikanisches Recht. This textbook provides an overview of US law, from legal history to constitutional law and administrative law or criminal law. His interest and work which spans legal disciplines and legal systems, encourages me to welcome him with a paper on comparative law than a study of private international law.

This paper provides an overview of the broad interface between law and artificial intelligence (AI), including the risks that may be associated with the application of AI. It focuses on analysing the evolution of definitions of AI and the different regulatory approaches of the EU and the US. At present, administrative law seems to be at the forefront of responding to the challenge of AI, but private law (contracts, torts, intellectual property, conflict of laws) will not be able to avoid finding proper answers to the challenges of AI.
