AI Philosophy: Sources of Legitimacy to Analyze Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

The following pages aim to reflect upon how to analyze the governance of artificial intelligence in a comparative perspective. In doing so, a dashboard is developedfor the analysis and for eventual comparisons between democratic and non democratic regimes. The Gil dashboard of legitimacy would allow us to assess key features that determine the governance model for artificial intelligence at the national level, for local governments and other participant actors. Theframework also allows us to appraise aims of the governance strategy, and what aims are left aside. The work opens windows to discuss 1) the complex reality of AI command and control 2) uncertainties about future society and the polityagainst AI development and 3) cultural values enshrined in countries' AI development. The theoretical framework could be of use to advance case studies globally, and comparative endeavors.
