Automation, Artificial Intelligence, Digital Divide, Social JusticeAbstract
The purpose of this article is to analyze the evolution of AI and observe the ethical and legal brakes that are beginning to be placed on its overwhelming development. In contemporary society, one of the fundamental premises focuses on strengthening the so-called data governance. Several authors have contributed to the framework to bring AI to “be” and “act” as it does in the 21st century based on human programming of formulas derived from logic and mathematics applied to software development that have allowed us to have the advanced digitalization processes that exist today. From the methodological perspective, a qualitative investigation was carried out from a hermeneutical-descriptive approach. Among the results of the findings, it was possible to demonstrate the legal scope to control AI and at the same time, the necessary discussion around the evolutionary overflow of AI that has invaded the limits of the privacy of legal subjects in all latitudes.
