How to assign legal liability for unpredictable AI? Dilemma grows
Debate is growing over who should bear legal responsibility when AI systems cause harm, as recent incidents involving AI models from OpenAI and Anthropic revived the question. Some prominent figures argue AI companies should be liable under existing consumer protection laws. Legal actions and political calls are increasing, but experts warn that applying intent-based legal standards to autonomous AI may be difficult, especially for open-source models and inherently unpredictable behaviour.
