Law & Artificial Intelligence

This site has reached 3,000 views from 2350 visitors (September 2026): after totalling about 20 months online. While the numbers seem modest, relative to accounts on social media platforms, for example, this topic is quite esoteric and reaching these numbers and getting the core message of the site “out there” has been something of a success. Many of the arguments, drafted in 2024, have since become mainstream. Only this past week we have seen coverage of AI as researchers have voiced concern at the speed of developments: the idea that AI could kill every human being within 10 years is far more direct than anything on this site but, incredibly, this has become an accepted argument now. Other commentators, and influential people, have called for global regulation for AI in a bid to slow things down: but this has been dismissed by President Trump on the basis that whoever gets there first “wins”. This was another argument in the book – the idea that the United States of America as global hegemon has most to lose. Where will this go from here? There’s no doubt that various disaster scenarios are being played out by Government’s as they run simulations on possible AI-fallout. The danger, in all likelihood, doesn’t stem from the current AI models, but, rather, from future models that have a very different idea of governance. Still, as stated on this site, we have a great deal to gain from AI and it has been hugely impactful in various sectors including with regards advanced healthcare and screening and within mathematics and sciences especially. How this plays out from here is as yet unknown but a global regulatory regime for Artificial Intelligence would sit well with many. JPB
