On the Complexity of Analogies in AI – Comments on Pedro Moniz Lopes

Abstract

In today's "algorithmic society," the proliferation of algorithmic and data-driven technologies offers significant benefits but also challenges traditional mechanisms of control. The dominance of a few Big Tech giants underscores the urgency for effective regulation, particularly in light of the platform economy and advancements in Artificial Intelligence. Initiatives like the European Union's Digital Markets Act aim to address antitrust concerns and promote fair competition. However, while efforts have begun to regulate the platform economy, AI remains a frontier requiring systematic legal responses, as highlighted by ongoing debates initiated by legal scholars such as Pedro Moniz Lopes. Achieving a delicate balance between fostering innovation and ensuring regulatory oversight is essential for navigating the complex landscape of emerging technologies in the digital age..
