Abstract

Artificial Intelligence and Its Challenges. Anticipating the emergence of a new branch of law or a field of study at the level of the national law and/or European Union law.
Our paper provides an interdisciplinary analysis, with an emphasis on private law, of the concept of „Artificial Intelligence” (AI), in the sense that it could be  identified as a new branch of law or a discipline of study that focuses on AI  from a legal perspective. Although AI has been the subject of numerous studies and has been analyzed by experts from various fields, we believe that there have been no clear conclusions regarding this approach from the legal perspective. The practical interest of this work arises from identifying the  place and role of AI in the legal world in general, as well as in substantive law  and procedural law in particular. In this context, our study may be of practical  interest in relation to the elements of conduct norms and the legal  relationship, as well as from the perspective of the legal effects that a legal  act can produce, viewed in both its senses (as a legal operation and as a  means of evidence). As a research method, we have chosen qualitative  analysis, consulting and analyzing a series of opinions provided to us by legal  scholarship. Based on these, we can outline a relevant perspective on AI in its  relationship with the legal field.
