Droit et soft ethics dans l’encadrement normatif de l’IA : une perspective pragmatiste

In order to discuss the issues associated with artificial intelligence systems (AIS), publications in AI ethics have multiplied recently. While law and ethics work toward a common goal of fostering beneficial and responsible use of AI, these normative initiatives are distinct and must be appropriately situated in relation to each other. In this article, starting from a pragmatist perspective, we propose a reflection on the normative role of what Luciano Floridi calls “soft ethics” in relation to law. We will reflect on the characteristics it should have to play an effective normative role that is complementary to law, as well as on the internormative relations between ethics and law in the perspective of normative pluralism.
