Diritto e IA, una breve riflessione filosofico-giuridica
Avitabile, Luisa
2025
Abstract
A possible redefinition of law through the constituent elements of AI is currently being outlined. Caught up in their technical speeches, jurists risk missing the appoint¬ment with Technology, to the point of having to realise that the algorithm is underpinned by a power, with dif¬ferent purposes from those who choose to navigate. An interesting and new territory emerges: the attempted domination of an elite, the masters of algorithmic pro¬grammes and the network, over the rest of humanity, placed in a condition of servile impotence, of subjugation that outlines renewed delineations of the classical Hege¬lian figures of the servant and the master, with the result that what was the domain of the jurist has become, almost inadvertently, the domain of robotic engineering oriented to the administration of an impersonal machine of justice. The concern is that law will gradually be called into ques¬tion and replaced by an empty algorithmic legalism, where some present themselves as the authentic holders of a dominion exercised in a dominant manner, hiding - in a sort of Chinese box game - the real holder of power, which always remains opaque and rarefied: only the no¬men would remain of law, destined to exhaust machinic operations.
Attualmente si delinea una possibile ridefinizione del diritto attraverso gli elementi costitutivi dell’IA. Presi dai loro di¬scorsi tecnici, i giuristi rischiano di mancare l’appuntamen¬to con la Tecnologia, sino a dover prendere atto che all’al¬goritmo è sotteso un potere, con scopi diversi da chi sceglie di navigare. Emerge un interessante e nuovo territorio: il tentativo di dominio di una élite, i padroni dei programmi algoritmici e della rete, sul resto dell’umanità, posta in una condizione di impotenza servile, di assoggettamento che sta¬glia rinnovate delineazioni delle classiche figure hegeliane del servo e del padrone, con il risultato che quel che era di competenza del giurista è diventato, quasi inavvertitamen¬te, di dominio dell’ingegneria robotica orientata all’ammi¬nistrazione di una impersonale macchina della giustizia. La preoccupazione è che gradualmente il diritto venga messo in discussione e sostituito da un vuoto legalismo di stampo algoritmico, dove alcuni si presentano come autentici titolari di una signoria esercitata in modo dominante, nascondendo – in una sorta di gioco di scatole cinesi – il reale detentore del potere che rimane sempre opaco e rarefatto: del diritto rimarrebbe solo il nomen, destinato ad esaurire operazioni a matrice macchinica.
