Summary/Abstract: The subject of this paper is the ethical, legal and social implications of the use of artificial intelligence systems. The problem of regulating the operation of AI systems is an important research issue, particularly in the context of their increasing use and the numerous risks involved, such as those related to discrimination and the protection of fundamental rights. Research in this area was made possible by the European Commission’s presentation of a draft regulation on artificial intelligence. It was necessary to explore and examine it in the light of the methodological instruments classically used in the discipline of legal sciences, with particular emphasis on the formal-dogmatic method and with an assessment of the practical dimension of the institutions analysed in the project. In order to ensure the clarity of the study, essential parts of the considerations were separated, such as general and specific issues, within which specific elements of the draft act were analysed. The aim of the research was to determine whether the draft regulation provides effective protection of fundamental rights and the creation of safe, reliable and ethically sound mechanisms of artificial intelligence. This issue has not yet been comprehensively analysed in the Polish literature. The article is a valuable contribution of the Polish doctrine to the analysis of the draft act and proposes necessary directions for changes.
