Abstract
This paper argues that a new digital right, the ‘right to reparation’, is needed to address the accountability gap presented by highly autonomous complex systems (HACS) incapable of fully monitoring their actions in real-time due to the increasing complexity of these advanced systems. The ‘Right to reparation’ follows the articulation of the ‘Right to be forgotten’, the ‘Right of access’ or more recently the ‘Right to Reasonable Inferences’, and aims to ensure that emerging HACS interactions remain accountable as current highly autonomous technologies cannot fully guarantee the effect of their behaviors. Building from an integrative review of previously published surveys specifically designed to address the rising concerns of artificial intelligence in the context of HACS, this paper presents indications by which introducing reparation and accountability strategies increase trust and engagement in the system in the context of unexpected events. Thus, building a case for the introduction of the newly proposed digital right.
