• Abstract:

  The development and use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools have been increasing exponentially, even in the context of the absence of regulation by the legislator. Due to the possibilities of applying this technology in different sectors of society, technocracy has gained even more relevance as an approach to deal with the ethical, legal and political challenges related to the so-called indirect or alternative regulation of AI. The objective of this essay is to analyze the main ethical, legal and political challenges that involve the use of technocracy for an indirect but effective regulation, without intending to exhaust the discussion. With the use of theoretical-bibliographical, documentary and qualitative research, using the deductive method, it is concluded that for an alternative and effective regulation of AI, an interdisciplinary approach is necessary that integrates technical expertise, ethical principles and political considerations. Regulatory policies must be flexible and adaptable, able to keep pace with rapid technological advances and adjust to changes in the social scenario.
