Socio-ethical values and legal rules on automated platforms: The quest for a symbiotic relationship

Abstract

The deployment of artificial intelligence on automated platforms needs to go hand in hand with the development of a legal framework safeguarding socio-ethical values as well as fundamental rights, particularly the self-determination and the non-discrimination principle. A trust-based approach focused on human values can mitigate a potential clash between a solely market- and technology-oriented use of artificial intelligence and a more inclusive multistakeholder approach. The regulatory tools are to be designed in a manner that leads to a symbiotic relationship between ethics and law.
