The Adequacy of Global Legal Norms on Legal Issues Related to Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

This research aims to examine the sufficiency of global legal norms on legal norms in the field of digitalization and artificial intelligence. Descriptive scanning model, content analysis methods and semiotic analysis methods were used in the research. In this context, in the research, studies on global law and artificial intelligence were analyzed and their results were evaluated. It was then analyzed with SWOT analysis in terms of artificial intelligence, global law and digitalization. According to the results obtained from the literature review and semiotic analysis, digitalization and globalization are in a two-way relationship as two important concepts that trigger each other and are primarily affected by artificial intelligence applications. Although artificial intelligence applications positively affect the digitalization process in terms of their legal effects, they also bring with them some drawbacks in judicial matters and global jurisdiction. In particular, the fact that the exact framework of the artificial intelligence issue is not yet known, that it is open to external interventions, that a global legal system has not yet been formed, and the differences between international law and regional legal systems can be listed as the most important problems in the legal applications of artificial intelligence. As a result, globalization brings developments that will necessitate important and radical changes in the field of law, as in all areas of life. Therefore, although the law has a much faster and more effective working environment than in the past, it is also open to manipulation. Current global legal norms are inadequate regarding both digitalization and artificial intelligence. In the legal field, on the one hand, cumbersome and bureaucratic legal systems must be abandoned, and on the other hand, more dynamic, more modern and faster legal systems must be adopted.
