What can epistemology and moral philosophy teach law?

from Digital Governance · host Klaus Heine; Erasmus University Rotterdam

This podcast asks on the most basic level, what the legal options are for giving AI legal status. This means a rigorous analysis of the relation between human and non-human decision makers. The podcast involves the question of consciousness, the meaning of legal personhood and a discussion of contractarian approaches. Only a good knowledge of these issues lays the fundament for legal reasoning of AI. This episode discusses the chapter “Human Rights, Legal Personality, and Artificial Intelligence – What Can Epistemology and Moral Philosophy Teach Law?” written by prof. Heine for the book Artificial Intelligence and Human Rights by A. Quintavalla and J. Temperman.For the link to the publication site of the book mentioned above, please click here.
