Brief summary:
This study is concerned with regulating Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies by focusing on its design processes, from an EU law perspective. Regulating AI systems is one of the most prominent regulatory discussions, due to the societal problems sprung by AI, which require the introduction of governance measures.
These measures, which may be embedded in various governance levels and governance modes, should aim to steer the design and deployment of AI technologies in directions that benefit societal interests, preventing or (at least) mitigating the risks that AI poses. Regulation by design, a research field and a practice concerned with the regulative activity of design, can play an important functional role in this societal objective by virtue of the impact that the practice of designing has on the behaviour of the technological system.
This thesis aims to explore and develop the field of regulation by design in the context of AI and EU governance. Concretely, this is performed by identifying and addressing the problems that hinder the potential of regulation by design, both as a research field and as a practice. Analytically, these problems may be categorised in four groups: conceptual, theoretical, practical, and governance-related problems.
