Justitia ex machina: The impact of an AI system on legal decision-making and discretionary authority

Governments increasingly use algorithms to inform or supplant decision-making. Artificial Intelligence systems in particular are considered objective, consistent and efficient decision-makers, but have also been shown to be fallible. Furthermore, the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in government is fraught with challenges which are only partly understood and rarely studied in practice. In this paper, we draw on science and technology studies and human computer interaction and report on a critical case s…

Man with Machine: The Unaddressed Copyright Issues of Mixed Musical Works

The copyrightability of mixed musical works, which contain a blend of human and generative AI elements, is an issue of increasing prevalence in copyright law. While there has been some discussion on the copyright status of fully generative AI works, this mainly resides in state law, and much of the federal policy found in Copyright Guides published by the United States Copyright Office is a non-binding opinion. Additionally, the same circuit courts contradict themselves, as seen with the differing views on the f…

Deepfake-induced harm and AI accountability: a layered civil-liability framework for generative models, platforms, and digital identity

Deepfake and other synthetic-media harms create a civil-liability problem that ordinary tort doctrine does not easily resolve: harmful content may be generated, amplified, monetised, and redistributed through a chain of actors in which no single participant controls the whole causal process. The objective of this article is to develop a layered civil-liability framework for that problem. It examines the Saudi and Jordanian civil-liability regimes as the principal doctrinal focus, while using selected EU, US, UAE…
