AI, Human Responsibility and the Rules Imagined by Luc Arden

When artificial intelligence begins influencing decisions about our work, freedom and daily lives, who should have the final say? In Volume 2 of The Way to Liberty, Luc Arden turns that question into part of a fictional social experiment, examining possible safeguards rather than claiming to describe existing law.

A CLOSER LOOK AT THE BOOK

A future imagined in specific rules

The book imagines AI systems woven into ordinary life, from employment and public services to decisions with consequences for individual rights. Instead of asking only whether artificial intelligence is beneficial or dangerous, Arden asks who remains accountable when a machine is allowed to act.

Selected numbered articles explore human oversight of consequential decisions, dismissals based solely on AI, mandatory incident records or black boxes, and the concentration of knowledge and power within a single system. These are not ready-made solutions; they are invitations to test how responsibility might work in circumstances that existing institutions have barely experienced.

The broader volume also addresses digital identity, cybersecurity, cooperation between AI systems, implants and the protection of human data. Its ambition is to transform abstract anxiety about technology into a series of concrete questions a reader can examine and challenge.
