%0 Book Section %T On the necessary legal framework for Artificial Intelligence publisher Editorial Tirant lo Blanch %D 2024 %U 978-84-1071-203-4 %@ https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/125871 %X ABSTRACT: Up to now, the list of existing legal norms has been manifestly inadequate to address the phenomenon described as legal operators lack specific regulations on AI, having to subsume the problems that are arising in the regulations referring to the use of computing in open environments; the one referring to the protection of personal data in the digital field and, in general, the one relating to the protection of fundamental rights and intellectual and industrial property. The speed of development and application of AI also requires an additional effort of simplicity and flexibility that allows a dispute resolution in step with the speed of its development. The European Union is directing its regulatory efforts towards covering the new field opened by technological advances, trying to ensure that the legal architecture continues to be based, also in this area, on the values deduced from its founding Treaties. This articule exposes the most relevant contents of the proposals that have been made by the European Institutions before the approval of the EU AI Act on 24th May 2024. %~
