The AI Legal Specialist: A Juridically Autonomous Professional Profile for AI Governance
A new academic paper proposes the creation of an "AI Legal Specialist" role to navigate the complex and rapidly evolving landscape of AI regulation globally. The paper argues that existing legal roles are insufficient to address the unique challenges posed by AI governance, citing comprehensive regulations like the EU AI Act and initiatives in various other countries. This distinct professional profile, defined by its juridical autonomy, would focus on the intersection of legal interpretation and AI governance, with a proposed competence architecture and performance indicators for standardization.
