Research On Legal Protection Of Personal Information In The Age Of Artificial Intelligence

With the rapid development of modern technology and information technology,artificial intelligence is being rapidly applied to human production and life,changing every aspect of human life in a subtle way.While people are enjoying the many conveniences brought by AI and looking forward to the future,they should not ignore its potential dangers.Around the world,some Western countries have realised the importance of strengthening the legal protection of personal information in the era of AI,and have actively implemented relevant legislation to form a relatively complete legal system.China has also introduced a series of laws to protect personal information security,the most notable of which is the Personal Information Protection Law,which comes into effect on 1 November 2021.The introduction of the aforementioned legislation has filled the gaps in China’s personal information protection legislation and also provided a legal basis for the process of handling personal information,which has played a crucial role in the protection of personal information.However,if we think about it in the context of the artificial intelligence era,we will find that the current legislation is not comprehensive in its response to the legal protection of personal information in the artificial intelligence era,and there is room for further improvement.This paper focuses on the legal protection of personal information in the age of artificial intelligence,and discusses this issue in some depth,consisting of four main parts in addition to the introduction.The first part is an overview of personal information in the era of artificial intelligence.The first part defines the concept of personal information in the age of artificial intelligence from the perspective of the definition of artificial intelligence and the connotation and attributes of personal information,followed by the characteristics of personal information in the age of artificial intelligence,and finally emphasizes the necessity of legal protection of personal information in the context of this age.The second part analyses and studies the legislative overview,judicial practice overview and problems in social practice of personal information protection in China in the age of artificial intelligence.Although there are already relevant laws and regulations at the legislative level to protect personal information security,there is still room for improvement in China’s personal information protection legislation in the context of the artificial intelligence era.At the judicial level,the number of cases of personal information infringement caused by the application of artificial intelligence is increasing,and the courts are stretched to apply the existing tort liability system to solve the problems in judicial practice.In addition,the protection of personal information in China in the era of artificial intelligence also has some problems in social practice,which urgently needs to be protected through the form of legal improvement.The third part takes the United States and the European Union as examples,and analyses the legislative models adopted by them for the protection of personal information in the era of artificial intelligence and their respective typical acts,which provide experience for the legal protection of personal information in China in the era of artificial intelligence.The fourth part proposes that China should improve the legal protection of personal information in this era by improving the legislative system for the protection of personal information in the era of artificial intelligence,improving the corresponding judicial remedy mechanism,and strengthening the supervision and regulation of the personal information industry.
