Artificial Intelligence Governance: Legal and Regulatory Issues

Artificial intelligence (AI), such as ChatGPT and DeepSeek, is reshaping society, presenting both opportunities and challenges. While AI enhances convenience, productivity, and innovation, it also raises concerns such as deepfakes, security risks, legal issues, and ethical dilemmas. Despite governments proposing principles to address these problems, there is insufficient scientific research on effectively regulating and governing the development and operation of AI. To address this gap, a qualitative case study was conducted, focusing on the legal and regulatory aspects of AI. Three senior legal experts—two experienced judges and a law school professor—were interviewed to gather insights on potential legal challenges and key factors for crafting AI-related laws and governance policies. This paper explores AI's adverse legal impacts, regulatory needs, and the policies required to guide and monitor its development. The results of this study are valuable to legal professionals, businesses, policymakers, and the general public.
