They exchange data, evaluate options, optimize processes and execute decisions with immediate legal and economic consequences. This phenomenon, which until recently seemed like something out of science fiction, is now a central part of global technical infrastructures. And yet, it remains legally unaddressed in many of its critical aspects.<\/p>\n<p>From the Comit\u00e9 Euro Americano de Derecho Digital \u2014 CEA Digital Law, we observe that this form of autonomous interaction between artificial intelligence systems poses a structural mutation of the principle of responsibility. The recently approved European Union Artificial Intelligence Regulation (AI Act) establishes a pioneering framework to classify, supervise and limit the use of AI systems according to their level of risk. However, the regulation does not resolve \u2013 nor is it intended to fully resolve \u2013 the issue of effective traceability when decisions occur between interconnected systems without direct human intervention.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the recent withdrawal of the proposed Directive on civil liability for damages caused by AI has left a worrying void. Objective liability, the principle of imputability and compensation mechanisms remain anchored in models designed for human subjects or classic corporate entities, not for autonomous algorithmic decision flows. The Law, therefore, is faced with a dilemma: it evolves to understand and control these invisible interactions, or it is relegated to sanctioning the consequences without being able to anticipate them.<\/p>\n<p>This gap has tangible effects that META Channel Corporation, in its work of international representation of Latin American and global companies in Europe, identifies increasingly clearly. In many cases, decisions that affect their clients \u2013 blocking of goods, automatic activation of contractual clauses, exclusion of platforms \u2013 come from autonomous interactions between AI systems from different jurisdictions, without transparency, explanation or an effective complaint channel. The human enterprise is trapped in an automated architecture that decides on its behalf, without an accessible human instance to respond.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, at CEA Digital Law, we propose moving towards a new legal category: the governance of autonomous interactions, which combines:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Intersystemic traceability obligations.<\/li>\n<li>Mandatory legal audits on autonomous decision flows.<\/li>\n<li>Presumption of shared responsibility between providers, developers and users of connected autonomous systems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And at META Channel Corporation, we propose a preventive strategy based on contractual adaptation, documentation of digital flows and external monitoring of automated interactions, which allows companies to identify legal risks before they materialize.<\/p>\n<p>We are facing a new paradigm: the conversation is no longer between humans, not even between humans and machines, but between machines among themselves. And if the Law does not adapt to this invisible language, we will lose the ability to govern the systems that govern the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When machines converse without us: human exclusion, governance of the invisible and the European regulatory challenge By Antonio Tejeda Encinas&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":33252,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1842],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-38598","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-innovation-and-tech-ecosystems"],"menu_order":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/metachannelcorp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38598","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/metachannelcorp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/metachannelcorp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/metachannelcorp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/metachannelcorp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38598"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/metachannelcorp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38598\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38965,"href":"https:\/\/metachannelcorp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38598\/revisions\/38965"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/metachannelcorp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33252"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/metachannelcorp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38598"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/metachannelcorp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38598"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/metachannelcorp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38598"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
