Title:Artificial Intelligence and Democratic Rule of Law

Abstract

This work aims to study fundamental legal theorizations linked to the Democratic Rule of Law in the scope of the intersection between Law and Artificial Intelligence. Results: i) Digital technologies mainly challenge the theoretical notions of territoriality and personality, fundamental to modern Law — and with that, theoretical notions about civil and criminal responsibility and fundamental freedoms should be reviewed in relation to the existence of autonomous non-human beings; ii) The Democratic Rule of Law, which is based, among other important notions, on legality and due process, will also have to be rethought in the context of the intersection of Law and Artificial Intelligence, since the decision-making processes carried out by autonomous systems have a nature that challenges traditional legal argumentative logic and transparency. Methodology: hypothetical-deductive method of procedure, with qualitative approach and bibliographic- documentary research technique.
