Why to regulate AI? The impact of AI on Legality and Regularity

Unprecedent relationships are emerging in real world mainly due to cutting-edge technologies, like Artificial Intelligence (AI), pervasiveness. People trust the judgement of AI chatbots for their daily choices, businesses decision-making relies on AI tools suggestions, scientists swear to the AI capability to detect new phenomena, etc. What is their common ground? Complexity. This inherent complexity can be controlled only by Law. Besides, the main problem that Law tries to solve is managing the complex reality of societal settings. In that regard, this paper aims to provide insights into the complexities of AI embedding into society through the lenses of legality and regularity, that is, to identify current legal and ethical challenges in order to contribute to the debate on “why to regulate AI?”.
