The constitutional and legislative framework for regulating artificial intelligence in Iraq

Abstract

Abstract: This study explores the conceptual and legal framework of artificial intelligence by analyzing its nature and technical characteristics, followed by an examination of the key legal challenges it presents, including civil and criminal liability, privacy protection, risks of discrimination, and cybersecurity. It also highlights the constitutional foundations governing AI use, particularly freedom of expression and equality, and reviews the legislative framework regulating AI through criminal law, personal data protection laws, and intellectual property legislation. The aim is to develop a comprehensive understanding of the necessary balance between technological innovation and legal safeguards.
