Unfortunately, Montenegro is not ready to use ready-made solutions that exist in the region in the field of artificial intelligence and critical infrastructure, nor does it currently possess the capacities that could support the creation of domestic solutions.
This was stated by the panelists at the international conference "Law and Security in the Digital World - The Impact of Artificial Intelligence", which was held in Kolašin on Thursday and Friday, organized by the Faculty and the Association of Security Managers of Montenegro, and under the auspices of the Embassy of Slovenia in Montenegro, with the support of the Ministry of Public Administration and the Ministry of Justice.
The press release states that the conference was opened by Aneta Spaić, Dean of the Faculty of Law of the University of Montenegro, Dragan Radulović, President of the Association of Security Managers of Montenegro, Maraš Dukaj, Minister of Public Administration, and Bernarda Gradišnik, Ambassador of Slovenia to Montenegro.
"The focus of the conference was the impact of artificial intelligence on law and security, and the working panels brought together experts and leaders in the field of law and security, who, through five discussions, addressed issues of international and national legislation in the field of AI application, whether it is an ally or a threat in the protection of critical infrastructure, then issues of modern forensics and the challenges of the digital age, cyberspace and security in the era of digitalization. The panelists drew attention to the fact that Montenegro is unfortunately not ready to use ready-made solutions that exist in the region in the field of artificial intelligence and critical infrastructure, nor does it currently have the capacities that could support the creation of domestic solutions," the statement added.
It is also stated that the panelists referred to certain tendencies for artificial intelligence systems to become automated.
"However, the views that prevailed at the conference are clear in their determination that the final line of defense must be provided by humans. The misuse of high-risk artificial intelligence systems must find its regulation in legal regulations and protocols, which are the main tools for establishing a protection system," the Faculty of Law said in a statement.
It is also emphasized that the legal regulation of the application of artificial intelligence in forensics must be based on strict ethical principles and respect for the achieved level of human rights.
"Regarding the application of evidence obtained through the SKY ECC application, the panelists' conclusion is that domestic judicial authorities must take a position on the application of this data in criminal proceedings, regardless of the positions of courts at the European Union level. Montenegro must accelerate its alignment with European Union standards, especially in terms of an adequate approach to the protection of human rights from products and services based on artificial intelligence technologies," the Faculty of Law said.
