SPEAKER Andrea Rossetti
TITLE Establishing Rules for AI Systems
SHORT ABSTRACT
This lecture examines the complex interplay between law, language, and emerging technologies, focusing on how normative frameworks adapt to the challenges posed by artificial intelligence. It begins by addressing the linguistic foundations of legal systems, emphasizing that legal norms are articulated through ordinary language, which inherently shapes the scope and interpretation of regulatory efforts. The second part of the lecture investigates the heuristic and normative function of metaphors in legal discourse, illustrating how lawmakers use familiar conceptual models to domesticate technological novelty. However, the use of metaphor also reveals the epistemic limitations of legal language when confronted with the opacity of algorithmic systems. The final section provides a critical overview of the European Union’s Artificial Intelligence Act, highlighting its risk-based approach to regulation and examining its implications for transparency, accountability, and fairness. The lecture ultimately aims to demonstrate that while legal regulation may struggle to keep pace with technological innovation, it retains a crucial role in articulating ethical boundaries and guiding the responsible development of AI.
SHORT BIO
Andrea Rossetti (1966) has been an Associate Professor of Philosophy of Law at the University of Milan-Bicocca since 2008, where he also teaches Legal Informatics (a subject he also taught at the University of Milan from 2007 to 2012 and currently teaches at the Accademia della Guardia di Finanza). Since 2023, he has been teaching in the AI Ethics and Law and AI and Human Decision Making courses within the Human-Centered AI master’s degree program. His principal works concern the study of the possibility of using formal systems for the expression of law and the ontology of social and immaterial objects. Since 1999, he has been engaged in Legal Informatics; specifically, he has dedicated several educational essays to the idea of “openness” in the ICT field and to the concept of privacy. More recently, he has begun to address computer security from a legal perspective; he has edited and introduced the manual: Legal Informatics; for the journal Ragion pratica, he edited a monographic issue on blockchain in 2019 and one on AI governance in 2021. In 2017, he co-founded the university spin-off ReD Open, which deals with digital transformation. He is the director of the Observatory for DIGItal Transformation and Organization of Justice (https://www.digitobicocca.it/) and directs both the journal (Quaderni di organizzazione e trasformazione digitale della giustizia) and the second-level master’s program in Organization and Digital Transformation of Justice affiliated with it. He chairs the Law and Informatics research center at Collegio Ghislieri in Pavia.
