DIREITO COMUNITÁRIO, DIREITO DOS CONSUMIDORES, INTELIGÊNCIA ARTIFICIAL
The chapter considers the interplay between the EU consumer law and artificial intelligence. It begins by addressing three topical issues in law and AT scholarship: the definition of ‘artificial intelligence’, the problem of ‘black box’ and liability for the actions of Al. It addresses certain misconceptions present in legal discourses, and proposes conceptual distinctions to remedy them. The argument then moves to three issues specific to consumer law: the asymmetry between businesses and consumers, the emergence of AI applications in consumer markets, and some of the potential challenges which they raise, particularly those to consumers’ autonomy. Deeper intellectual engagement with the challenges posed to the doctrine and the practice of consumer law by the development of AI is necessary before one can move to recommendations on how the law should be changed. The chapter concludes with a plea to develop AI-based applications that empower consumers and civil society.
