Legal Definition of Artificial Intelligence

handle is hein.journals/supami10 and id is 97 raw text is: SUPREMO AMICUS VOLUME 10 ISSN: 2456-9704 LEGAL DEFINITION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE By Damodar Singh Rajpurohit and Rishika Seal From Damodaram Sanjivayya National Law University ABSTRACT In the physical world, we make a person liable for something when a certain loss has been caused due to his activities. However, this has been possible because there was an existing definition of both, the offense committed and the liability to be fulfilled. In the present topic, no specific boundary can be drawn including specific items as a part of Artificial Intelligence and excluding the others. We live in an era where an Artificial Intelligence program asks a human working on the computer to prove that he is not a robot by punching in specific characters. Artificial Intelligence is everywhere in the 21st century. The 1980 New York Times headline A Robot is after your job could just as easily appear in September 2018. The field of Artificial Intelligence dates back to the 1950s, and the concepts underlying Artificial Intelligence go back generations earlier to the ideas of Charles Babbage. Without doubt, there have been significant developments and refinements, and yet, even today we lack a proper definition of the term 'Artificial Intelligence'. Defining Artificial Intelligence is not an easy task. Most of the definitions that do exist tend to define Artificial Intelligence in terms of creating a computer process that acts intelligently or creating a computer process that can mimic human behaviour. Other definitions refer to rational behaviour or doing things that are hard for a computer to do and are equally unhelpful in this aspect. Artificial Intelligence may be defined as creating a computer process that acts in a manner that an ordinary person would deem intelligent, and consideration is given to some of the various types of Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence technologies that might be of concern to people in the digital forensics community. Because legal systems do not have an exact definition of artificial intelligence yet, we have to examine what could be considered as Artificial Intelligence in philosophy and science. According to the Oxford computer science explanatory vocabulary, artificial intelligence is that part of information technology which deals with creating programs capable to solve problems requiring human intelligence. Keeping all such definitions in mind, a legal definition had to be brought up which can include within itself, the changes to come in the future as well as the findings of the past. An analysis of all the existing definitions and their drawbacks shall be done and a legal definition may be introduced with all the essential elements for the definition to be sustainable. INTRODUCTION Various groups of ascertainable individuals have been granted the status of persons under law, while that status has been denied www.supremoamicus.org 87
