Cyber Laws And Emerging Use Of Artificial Intelligence: View From Sociological Perspectives
Abstract
Interest in applying sociological tools to analyse the social nature, antecedents and consequences of artificial intelligence (AI) has been rekindled in recent years as a result of the prevalent use of AI technologies in a wide variety of social domains, ranging from education to security, from retail to healthcare, from transport to law enforcement practice. Several legal issues arise as artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more integrated into legal practice and Sociological research. These include questions about accountability for decisions made by AI systems, data protection and privacy concerns, and the potential impact of AI on legal professions. After of amid COVID-19 pandemic impact, cybercrime has become an extremely money-spinning industry. The need for socio-legal professionals to understand the legal frameworks to protect data and prevent cyberattacks is increasing with public awareness of cybersecurity dangers through sociological understanding. Cybercrime today involves a wide range of offences, and the judicial system faces new, unaddressed challenges are still unaddressed.
