The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Social Ladder: Legal Challenges and Potential Opportunities in the Digital Age

Abstract

 This study examines the impact of artificial intelligence on social ladder in the digital age, focusing on two axes: the legal challenges posed by artificial intelligence applications, on the one hand, and the potential opportunities that can be exploited by harnessing AI tools to serve justice and individual rights, on the other. The study aims to analyze the Jordanian legislator's position on regulating artificial intelligence, highlighting the possibility of creating a safe environment when using these technologies in a manner that is appropriate for the local community, ensuring the protection of individual fundamental rights, and proposing a set of legal solutions aiming at addressing future-oriented challenges in light of the rapid acceleration of artificial intelligence technologies and applications. This will achieve a balanced environment that protects the public interest and consolidates the concept of support for societal stability. A descriptive analytical approach was adopted, along with a comparative approach to compare the various legislations related to this field. The study focused on the most prominent legal challenges facing the use of artificial intelligence, including data privacy protection, cybersecurity issues, who bears responsibility for AI decisions, intellectual property rights protection, and human rights protection. It also presented a detailed overview of the potential opportunities for the use of artificial intelligence. The study concluded with a set of findings and recommendations, most notably the urgent need to enact modern legislation that reflects the technical development of artificial intelligence. This can be achieved by establishing a clear regulatory framework that can keep pace with the rapid development of technologies, enhancing opportunities for cooperation with advanced countries in codifying legislation with a technical dimension, especially in the field of artificial intelligence, and establishing an AI regulatory body in Jordan whose role would be to create awareness and training programs and monitor the implementation of laws related to artificial intelligence.
