Legal challenges and legislative regulation of artificial intelligence – Bringing Serbia closer to EU legislation
Abstract:The development, and even the very concept of cre- ating artificial intelligence (AI) for many is terrifying, for some it is fascinating, and there are quite a few who have accepted with great enthusiasm and learned about a completely new aspect, one could even say of everyday life. The incredibly fast progress of artificial intelligence leads to the fact that in certain segments it is no longer possible to recognize with whom one communicates verbally or in writing, especially when it comes to some forms of info support or service provision. The creative possibility of artificial intelligence in e.g. in text, video and pho- to editing, but also creation based on given parameters. Bear- ing in mind this extremely accelerated and daily development of artificial intelligence on a global level, one realizes the nu- merous challenges that have been placed, we will call it, before the legal systems around the world. This issue absolutely re- quires urgent and very well thought out legislative predictions. Recognizing the previously mentioned, the European Union is a pioneer in the field of normative approach to artificial intelli- gence, especially with the adoption of the Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act). This act represents the first comprehensive legal framework regulating this area. In this research, the key as- pects that preceded the adoption of the Act on Artificial Intel- ligence will be considered, the said Act will also be discussed, and special attention will be paid to the efforts and needs of the Republic of Serbia to create a legislative platform that will regulate these aspects, with of course harmonization with the regulatory standards of the European Union.
Key words: AI Act EU, artificial intelligence, legal regulation, creation of a legislative platform in the Republic of Serbia.
Rezime:Razvoj, pa i sam koncept stvaranja veštačke inteligencije (en. AI) za mnoge je zastra- šujuće, za neke je fascinantno, a neretki su i oni koji su sa velikim oduševljenjem prihvatili i spoznali jedan sasvim novi aspekt, moglo bi se već reći i svakodnevnog života. Neverovatno brzo napredovanje veštačke inteligencije dovodi do toga da u pojedinim segmentima više se ne može prepoznati sa kim se komunicira verbalno ili pisano posebno kada je reč o nekim oblici- ma info podrške ili pružanja usluga. Nikako ne treba zanemariti i kreativnu mogućnost veštačke inteligencije u npr. u tekstualnom, video i foto editovanju ali i kreiranju na osnovu zadatih para- metara. Imajući na umu ovaj izuzetno ubrzani i svakodnevni razvoj veštačke inteligencije na glo- balnom nivou, spoznaju se brojni izazovi koji su postavljeni, nazvaćemo to, pred pravne sisteme širom sveta. Ova problematika apsolutno zahteva hitne i veoma dobro promišljena zakonodavna predviđanja. Prepoznavši prethodno pomenuto, Evropska unija predstavlja pionira u sveri nor- mativnog pristupa veštačkoj inteligenciji posebno donošenjem Akta o veštačkoj inteligenciji (AI Act). Ovaj akt predstavlja prvi sveobuhvativni pravni okvir kojim reguliše ova oblast. U ovom istraživanju razmotriće se ključni aspekti koji su prethodili donošenju Akta o veštačkoj inteligen- ciji, ramotriće se i pomenuti Akt, a posebna pažnja će se ukazati na nastojanjima i potrebama Republike Srbije da kreira zakonodavnu platformu koja će uređivati ove aspekte, uz naravno uslađenost sa regulatornim standardima Evropske unije.
Ključne riječi:AI act EU, veštačka inteligencija, pravno normiranje, stvaranje zakonodavne plat- forme u Republici Srbiji
