Artificial intelligence is one of the newly emerging technologies which are creating new challenges to the existing laws and raising serious survival questions. Regarding the relation of artificial intelligence and the law, there are serious concerns on how the law regulates artificial intelligence as it is now being more difficult for traditional public regulatory bodies to control the development of AI. Some form of regulation is likely necessary to protect society from harm. Due to the power and complexity of this new emerging technology, Regulation can, indeed, be very impactful, but it also carries risks. This thesis tried to solve this difficulty and examined different issue to answer whether artificial intelligence should be regulated or not and, if so, which basic principles should be followed and who are the suitable organs to regulate it. It also demonstrated the intricacy of this newly emerging technology as it has its own positive and negative consequences on the life of the society. Since the AI technology is prevailing constantly from time to time and its involvement is increasing in every aspect of activities such as factories or hospitals, the particular research emphasized the need for the development of AI that reconciles with its Ethical, legal as well as social issues. To this end, the issue of ex-ante regulation was underscored as a necessity to handle the potential challenges of AI in a formal way.
