Utilitate și riscuri în materia internetului obiectelor – provocări ale inteligenței artificiale
Usefulness and Risks of the Internet of Things – Challenges of Artificial Intelligence
Abstract: In the context of the rule of law, artificial intelligence is at the forefront of challenges. Recently published in the Official Journal of the European Union (Series L/12.07.2024), the Artificial Intelligence Regulation amending a series of legal acts (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689) Artificial intelligence is a rapidly evolving family of technologies that contribute to a wide range of economic, environmental and societal benefits across the full spectrum of industries and societal activities. The upheavals at European and national level are visible, in recent years, in diverse matters: autonomous vehicles, autonomous drones, ChatGPT, robots (chatbots, deadbots, companion bots), deep-fake, blockchain, smart contracts, digital justice. Binding regulation was needed. From the applications as a whole, we are considering a subject that raises legal questions. The Internet of Things (Internetof Things, internet des objets) is a concept covering multiple realities. Connected 1xbet vip objects are an integral part of the everyday world, and their use raises issues relating to inherent human rights, legal liability, the conclusion of contracts, etc. The benefits and risks are present, and the rules must be correlated. The new Artificial Intelligence Regulation is intimately linked to the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679). Smart cities is one of the concepts that evoke digitalization and interconnectedness in urban communities. Transportation, public services, tourism, sports, recreation, citizens’ safety – all reflect the implications of artificial intelligence systems for efficiency and convenience in urban communities. At the same time, the massive processing of personal data opens up the possibility of security breaches (in collection, structuring, transfer). Quantified self offers solutions for self-awareness, through devices for measuring and quantifying activities. The willingness to share sensitive information (health data, genetic data, biometric data) on social networks or websites can facilitate the creation of personal databases by third parties (a priceless commodity due to the possibilities of consumer profiling). The common denominator of risk for all applications of artificial intelligence systems is big data. The sheer volume of data, processed at breakneck speed, is the foundation of systems that not only replicate what they have learned, but also have a degree of autonomy that can become difficult to manage. Both categories (utility/benefits – risks) are the subject of this study. Appropriate regulations are needed to determine the rules applicable to the legal regime of connected objects, preventing or mitigating the risks associated with them.
Keywords: Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, legal regime, utility of connected objects, risks of using connected objects
