The Indispensable Role of Law in Governing Ai: why Legal Ethics and Regulation Are Essential for Responsible Ai Development

EMMANUEL SAM

ABSTRACT:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force in various industries, including law, healthcare, finance, and governance. However, AI’s potential benefits come with significant ethical and legal challenges. AI can pose risks related to bias, accountability, transparency, and human rights violations without a robust legal framework to regulate its operations. This paper argues that AI is insufficient without laws to guide its conduct and ethical application. Legal ethics are crucial in ensuring that AI operates within the boundaries of fairness, justice, and accountability. The absence of legal oversight could lead to unchecked AI systems that perpetuate discrimination, invade privacy, and disrupt societal order. This study underscores the necessity of legal principles governing AI’s development and deployment by examining the intersection of AI and law. It advocates for a structured regulatory approach to ensure that AI remains a tool for positive innovation while upholding fundamental ethical and legal standards.
