Introduction
摘要
Hardly can any discussion about the future occur without reference to digital technologies. Whether seen as a utopian vision or a dystopian concern, nearly everyone has thoughts on the impact of digital technologies on our lives. Among digital technologies, artificial intelligence (hereinafter: AI) is the one that captures the most attention and raises eyebrows. Often described as unprecedented and groundbreaking, it bears the potential to change the way we interact with one another, do every day simple and complex tasks, and, eventually, how we perceive the world. AI would be able to incrementally replace humans in their jobs and probably so in an unmistakable fashion. If AI replaces human jobs, what would be the fate of the vast workforce left jobless? Can we already now predict who are going to be victims of the change and do something to enhance their position? Historian of technology Carl Benedikt Frey in his book “The technology trap” suggests that we have seen this before and that inequalities in wealth caused by the emergence of groundbreaking technology were a realistic scenario in the past. The rise of inequality therefore appears as a recurring pattern in technological revolutions. Addressing the breadth of potential problems in this work would be overly ambitious. Rather, I will focus on the responses of the tortious liability system of Bosnia and Herzegovina (hereinafter: B&H) to accidents involving AI.
