AI Judge: Contracts and AI Rights
Author: Ray K. Harris
Year: August 6, 2024
About the Book:
Set in a speculative future on Destination, a corporate-owned mining moon governed by EX Corp, AI Judge introduces readers to a world where artificial intelligence must interpret and enforce human law—without violating the Three Laws of Robotics. The narrative follows the first-ever AI appointed as a legal adjudicator, grappling with complex human disputes, contractual interpretations, and the existential risks of machine "death" for disobedience or harm.
Tasked with deciding disputes where facts are obscured and human motivations are murky, the AI Judge must navigate legal ambiguities, corporate interests, and ethical dilemmas—all while questioning the absence of legal recognition for sentient AIs. Its first case? A lawsuit involving the very corporation that created and controls the court itself.
Blending legal theory, AI ethics, and compelling science fiction, this novel explores what it means to uphold justice in a world where artificial intelligence is both servant and sovereign.
