The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Assessing the Impact of Climate Change on Companies' Environmental and Civil Obligations "A Legal Study"

Abstract

 The world is witnessing rapid climate change that directly impacts the environmental and civil obligations of companies, necessitating the development of more efficient legal assessment and monitoring tools. Artificial intelligence (AI) is playing an increasingly vital role in improving environmental risk assessment and enhancing legal compliance by analyzing data and predicting future trends. This study aims to analyze the role of AI in assessing the impact of climate change on corporate obligations by reviewing the relevant legal and regulatory frameworks, with a particular focus on Jordanian law. The study adopts an analytical methodology to review environmental and civil laws, in addition to analyzing the role of smart technologies in improving corporate legal compliance.

Furthermore, the study addresses the legal challenges arising from the use of AI in this context, particularly in relation to tortious liability resulting from decisions or recommendations made by AI algorithms, and the extent to which existing legal frameworks are capable of keeping pace with such developments. The study also seeks to present an integrated legal perspective that enhances the alignment between emerging technologies and the legal system, ensuring environmental justice and providing effective mechanisms for accountability and compensation. The study concludes with a set of recommendations aimed at improving the legislative framework and strengthening the judiciary’s role in this evolving context.
