THE LEGAL SYSTEM FOR SMART SHIPS
Keywords:
Autonomous ships, artificial intelligence in navigationAbstract
This research examines the legal framework for autonomous ships, addressing the legal and legislative challenges associated with integrating this technology into the global maritime system. The study highlights the extent to which traditional maritime laws align with the concept of autonomous vessels and the possibility of granting them independent legal personality. It also discusses the legal liability arising from the operation of autonomous ships, whether in terms of tort liability or strict liability. Furthermore, the research explores a hybrid legal model that accommodates technological advancements in this field. Legislative solutions are proposed, including the establishment of a specialized digital maritime court, the development of clear standards for maritime cybersecurity, and ensuring a balance between technological innovation and legal obligations
