THE ALGORITHM AND SOURCE CODE – THE LEGAL CHALLENGES OF INTERNATIONAL TRADE
Abstract
Artificial intelligence has been attracting the attention of legal experts since its commercialisation began. As AI (Artificial Intelligence) systems have a huge impact on society as a whole and alter the functioning of nearly all types of relationships, the need for legal regulation has emerged. Although some countries and international organisations have already made a step forward in this regard, certain components of artificial intelligence remain difficult to integrate into the legal system. The algorithm is such a component. Algorithms appear in various forms and differ depending on the systems that apply them. This fact makes their regulation even more difficult. Their use today is widespread in decision-making processes, and as such, they have a significant impact on individuals and society as a whole. This paper addresses the issue of the influence of national regulations and measures in this area on international trade flows.
