Algorithmic security: issues and policy outlook

The subject of the paper is security in the field of intelligent robotics and algorithms. As there is currently no already existing legal framework, this paper takes as its point of departure an examination of regulatory solutions and application experience gained in the areas of information society services and automated processing of personal data, marked by the steady introduction of an articulated set of obligations with regard to security and controls incumbent on the protagonists of technological innovation. From a policy standpoint, the paper proposes the adoption of a similar approach informed by the principles of prevention and precaution while ensuring that constitutional values and the protection of the human person always remain a priority.
