Moral Status of AI : Right and Liabilities





Devank Kumar Singh, Jindal Global Law School, Sonipat


Abstract


John McCarthy coined the term Artificial Intelligence AI in 1956, which he defined as the science and engineering of making intelligent machines. 1 However, Alan Turing is worldwide accepted as the father of AI and known for his code breaking computer during World War II. Turing test is the ability of the machines to respond in a way which is indistinguishable from human responses. 2 In other words, it needs to have human level of intelligence as bare minimum to be considered an AI. Perhaps, who could have thought the introduction of Turin test in 1950, would lead to creation of Sophia in 2016, a humanoid robot by Hanson robotics. Considering the past, one can safely assume that, Technological Singularity i.e. the rate at which technology is evolving, at present, no one would have a clue or could predict the pace of its development. Hence, leading to the commercialisation of much smarter devices/technology at an inevitable pace. 3 Prima facie, the question whether there is an effective legal system vis a vis an AI is to be enquired upon.
