Abstract
Are we ready for true Artificial Intelligence and its attendant consequences? If a machine can be endowed with the ability to compute, analyze and deduce faster and better than a human being should they be allowed to do so? This paper begins with a brief overview of the history and evolution of the computer hardware and software. This will provide context for the development of AI. By examining how the U.S. legal system has or has not kept pace with these progressions. The paper will then allow us to glimpse into the future to see if our system as it now stands, is ready to cope with an intelligent machine, one that “thinks” independently and often makes choices. The paper will attempt to answer the question if a choice is made which has a negative human consequence how will our legal system handle the outcome.This focus will allow us not only to identify several areas that need legal clarification, but also to demonstrate why we should prioritize laws pertaining to AI human decisions.Finally, the paper will conclude with a proposal for how to begin to build these laws.
