From Paola Severino came a message of 'comfort' in comparison with her younger colleagues: 'We will endure in our profession in the flesh: the lawyers' task is to carve a tailor-made suit for their client. Not standardised by the artificial intelligence of robots'. Lawyer Severino, former Minister of Justice in the Monti government and now Vice-President of Luiss Guido Carli University, published a book last year that puts this topic under the magnifying glass, entitled 'Artificial Intelligence, Politics, Economics, Law, Technology'.
Paola Severino, at the meeting at the Trento Festival of Economics, did not hide behind a finger: 'Are there sufficient rules on this? No, the phenomenon runs very fast. The predictive ability of the ai seemed only possible in films, that is, an algorithm that defines a person as dangerous. But is this predictive ability valid or is there always free will? There was in Nazism the theory of the born criminal, you cannot go back to those phases. But one should not be afraid of the ai, the ai is never stupid. The stupid refuses to learn, the ai learns all the time. But would you be happy to be judged by a robot, defended by a machine? Intermediation is needed, fake news spread because there were no journalists to assess it. The law now does not stand behind the ai: copyright and privacy, we need rules'.
