Legal challenges and legislative regulation of artificial intelligence – Bringing Serbia closer to EU legislation

Abstract

The development, and even the very concept of creating 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 photo editing, but also creation based on given parameters. Bearing in mind this extremely accelerated and daily development of artificial intelligence on a global level, one realizes the numerous challenges that have been placed, we will call it, before the legal systems around the world. This issue absolutely requires 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 intelligence, 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 aspects that preceded the adoption of the Act on Artificial Intelligence 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.
