Legal issues of Artificial Intelligence. The Chess Game as a metaphor of the controversial relationship between the Human and the Machine

The paper presents itself as an attempt to bring out the increasingly predominant role of artificial intelligence and its possible impact on a legal level.
In this constant challenge man against machine, the world of chess is taken as a reference; it is no coincidence that it is precisely in this area that artificial intelligence has found fertile ground.
Therefore, starting from a “chessboard”, and in particular from the challenge Kasparov vs DeepBlue, an attempt is made to find possible implications into the world of law. Specifically, the thesis sees a distinction in three chapters.
In the first chapter is made an overview of artificial intelligence: it will be shown an important distinction between strong AI and weak AI, then they will be illustrated the concepts of Big Data and the Internet of things and finally it’ll be expressed the central role of the Machine Learning.
By the bell, they will be outlined the risks and opportunities of artificial intelligence and its impact in the world of transport, in the labour market, in politics and the increasingly invasive role it assumes in the e-commerce.
The second chapter features the story of artificial intelligence applied to the development of techniques for chess computer games.
Among others, it will be described El Ajedrecista, the first chess playing automata, the Turing’s paper machine and the Google’s alpha zero program.
This chapter present itself as a bridge between the previous part with the last chapter that will see as a starting point the game Kasparov vs DeepBlue.
In fact, the third chapter wants to outline the areas of application of artificial intelligence in the world of law, having made a careful analysis of the aforementioned match.
A chessified version of the world of law is shown, proposing the entry of artificial intelligence in those areas that can be quantified following the jurimetric culture in the world of law. Finally, they will be outlined the ethical implications of Artificial Intelligence.
