Only Can AI Understand Me?

Abstract

This chapter addresses whether AI can understand me. A framework for regulating AI systems that draws on Strawson's moral philosophy and concepts drawn from jurisprudence and theories on regulation is used. This chapter proposes that, as AI algorithms increasingly draw inferences following repeated exposure to big datasets, they have become more sophisticated and rival human reasoning. Their regulation requires that AI systems have agency and are subject to the rulings of courts. Humans sponsor the AI systems for registration with regulatory agencies. This enables judges to make moral culpability decisions by taking the AI system's explanation into account along with the full social context of the misdemeanor. The proposed approach might facilitate the research and development of intelligent analytics, intelligent big data analytics, multiagent systems, artificial intelligence, and data science.
