Dr. Martire\u2019s main area of research is in legal and political theory with a specific focus on a reconstruction of the fundamental ideological structures of modern law in the light of Michel Foucault\u2019s theories. Currently, Dr. Martire is also developing his research in three directions. First, he is exploring the question of the \u201cOther\u201d in its politico-philosophical declension, and in particular in relation to EU law. Second, he is examining the \u2018underbellly of law\u2019 by investigating the aporias and paradoxes of the modern legal discourse through the medium of cinema and literature. Third, he is analysing the interrelation between law and new forms of technoregulation, scrutinising how technological advancements (especially in the field of automation and algorithmic governance) challenge the classical legal model of \u2018command and control\u2019 and the legal-political assumptions linked to it.<\/p>","admission":"

The use of AI in legal decision making \u2013 an incipient yet seemingly inevitable phenomenon \u2013 presents some problems. Some of them are of pure technical nature (e.g. the \u2018coding of progressively more sophisticated AI algorithms, their adaptability, their reliability, etc.). Others are more theoretical, involving social and political issues (questions of transparency, accountability, bias, ownership, etc.). Both sets of problems are challenging in their own ways, but they seem, at least in principle, susceptible to solutions compatible with the fundamental tenets of modern law. In this sense, they can be labelled as \u2018Easy Problems\u2019: even if they will be eventually unsolvable, at least their cognitive logic is clear to us. There is, however, another problem posed by AI that I propose to label as the \u2018Hard Problem\u2019 of AI, because it presents a more fundamental challenge for modern law. Simply stated, my claim is that if human dignity \u2013 which is as the core of our legal universe \u2013 is to be understood, as several authors do, as the capacity by individuals to advance claims about themselves, then AI is fundamentally undermining the legitimacy of those claims. If AI can read, analyze, and predict reality better than any human can do, then AI knows better about humans too. It follows that when people\u2019s claims clash with AI determinations, it is AI, with its \u2018omniscience\u2019, that must have the upper hand. The realisation of the \u2018Hard Problem\u2019 brings us to question the limits of the applicability of AI to the legal field or, perhaps, to question the fundamental structures of modern law itself.<\/p>\r\n
