Abstract

As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to reshape our world, the spectre of technological domination looms large. This paper delves into the equilibrium model of balancing as a legal safeguard against AI-driven power imbalances. First, the study unveils the sources of domination: control over resources and events. Subsequently, potential legal tools of counterbalancing are identified and discussed. Employing a proactive, theory-building approach, the research synthesises legal rules, case studies, and scholarly insights to construct a framework for understanding and implementing balancing in AI contexts. The paper’s findings offer valuable insights for policymakers, legal scholars, and AI developers seeking to navigate the complex landscape of power relations in the age of AI.
