SSRN hosts a scholarly paper exploring how artificial intelligence technologies intersect with U.S. constitutional principles. The study, published by legal academics, argues that current constitutional doctrines struggle to address the legal challenges posed by AI systems—especially in areas like due process, equal protection, and First and Fourth Amendment rights.

The paper critiques how AI-driven decisions in public administration, policing, and civil adjudication may undermine individual liberties without proper legal safeguards. It highlights concerns around opacity, bias, and lack of accountability, suggesting the need for judicial and legislative innovation.

The authors propose a constitutional framework for AI governance, including standards for transparency, explainability, and meaningful human oversight in automated decision-making. The goal is to preserve constitutional values in an era of algorithmic governance.
