[内容摘要]人类现在处于一个智能机器的时代,人工智能技术成为了新一代科技革命的标志。人工智能技术的进步,在给人类社会带来巨大益处的同时,也成为一个重大的公共危险源,给政府监管和法律责任承担带来了挑战。在监管人工智能带来的公共危险时,立法机构、行政机关和法院各有所长。通过制定专门的人工智能监管法,成立人工智能监管机构,并基于侵权责任法引入人工智能审批机制,对于获得审批的AI系统,适用过错责任,对于未获审批的AI系统,适用严格责任,才可能建构一条监管人工智能的可行路径。
Abstract:Human beings are now living in the age of intelligent machines,artificial intelligence becomes the symbol of a new scientific and technological revolution.Advancements in artificial intelligence technology bring great benefits to human society,and at the same time,artificial intelligence itself becomes a significant public risk source,causing new challenges regarding the government’s regulation and the assumption of legal liability.In the process of regulating the public risks brought by artificial intelligence,the legislature,the courts,the executive branch,each has its own merits.Only through the construction of a special artificial intelligence supervision law,establishing the artificial intelligence supervision agency;together with the introduction of artificial intelligence approval mechanism based on tort liability law——the fault liability principle to the approved AI system and the strict liability principle to the unapproved AI systems,can a feasible approach of regulating artificial intelligence be constructed.

49 David Vladeck explores these issues by asking who should be held responsible for the damage caused by HAL 9000,the AI villain in Stanley Kubrick’s 2001:A Space Odyssey:Would it be fair to hold liable the companies that designed,programmed,or manufactured HAL 9000,even though they embedded in HAL’s“thinking”systems the first rule of autonomous machinesi.e.,never harm a human-and even though the evidence strongly suggests that HAL“taught”himself to defy their instructions?Or should the creators of machines that have the capacity to“think”be held strictly liable whenever anything goes wrong?If so,on what theory?The theory that the wrongful conduct itself is proof of a defect?Or on an insurance-based theory that the creators are in a better economic position to absorb the cost of the injury than the person harmed?Vladeck,supra note 13,at 125.Vladeck further notes that courts may hesitate to assign liability to automated systems where credible alternative theories of liability exist.See id.At 140 n.78.Vladeck cites Ferguson v.Bombardier Servs.Corp.,where the plaintiffs claimed that a defective autopilot system caused a plane crash.Id.(citing 244 F.App’x 944,947(11th Cir.2007)).The trial court,in a ruling upheld on appeal,excluded a plaintiffs’witness from testifying because the witness’proposed testimony was equally consistent with the defendants’theory that the plane had been improperly loaded by its operators.244 F.App’x at 947-49.

57 This paper focuses on national rather than state or provincial legislatures because of the diffuse and easily transportable nature of AI research.Because of these factors,most regional and local legislatures would be able to regulate only a small fraction of AI research.Consequently,any substantive regulations adopted solely by a single sub-national political unit would not likely have a significant effect on the development and deployment of AI as a whole.Of course,national regulations suffer the same disadvantages when compared to international treaties.But because negotiating and ratifying a comprehensive AItreaty would be exceedingly difficult(witness the failures of the Doha round of trade talks and the Copenhagen climate change conference),the prospects for such a treaty seem remote in the absence of preexisting national regulatory systems or a strong consensus that AI poses a global catastrophic risk.See WALLACH&ALLEN,supra note 45,at 212(pointing out“decisions to regulate research”in some countries may not be supported by the governments of other countries because“[v]alues and social pressures differ from country to country and state to state”).

65 Specialty courts and therapeutic courts represent a limited exception to this rule.To date,however,no such specialty courts that are devoted to cases involving a specific industry or technology have been established.Committee work theoretically should permit legislators to specialize to some degree,but this specialization is limited by the relatively small amount of time that legislators spend on committee work and diluted further by the fact that most legislators are members of multiple committees or subcommittees.

70 The National Institute of Standards and Technology,for instance,publishes voluntary and consensus standards on a variety of topics,including a framework on cybersecurity first drafted in 2014.See Press Release,Nat’l Inst.of Standards and Tech.,NIST Releases Cybersecurity Framework Version 1.0(Feb.12,2014),http://www.nist.gov/itl/csd/launchcybersecurity-framework-021214.cfm[https://perma.cc/6QN3-LYAD].
71 Of course,determining the substantive content of tort standards necessarily involves some degree of policy judgment.Thus,policy considerations are legally relevant when a technology is new and the tort standards governing it are still being developed.But the policy decisions that drive the choice of standards are not among the issues that juries must decide in tort trials.
72 This process could be analogized to the“common enterprise”theory of liability,which Vladeck proposes as a tort liability model for autonomous vehicles and,by extension,other AI systems.See Vladeck,supra note 13,at 149.This proposal avoids the common enterprise phrasing because the problem of discreteness,discussed above in Part II.B.3,means that some of the entities who design the components of an AI system may have no organizational relationship to one another,and thus would not constitute a common enterprise under the usual formulation of that doctrine.See,e.g.,FTC v.E.M.A.Nationwide,Inc.,767 F.3d611,637(6th Cir.2014)(“Courts generally find that a common enterprise exists‘if,for example,businesses(1)maintain officers and employees in common,(2)operate under common control,(3)share offices,(4)commingle funds,and(5)share advertising and marketing.’”)(quoting FTC v.Wash.Data Res.,856 F.Supp.2d 1247,1271(M.D.Fla.2012)).
