AI-Cafe presents: Who pays the bill when an AI-system causes damage?

AI has become increasingly more prominent in our daily professional and social lives. Although it brings many benefits, the increase of AI will present many challenges as well. In addition to several ethical issues, regulatory challenges, a recurring topic that has risen in several supranational policy documents is the question of who can and should be held liable when an AI-system causes damage.

This is not surprising considering that AI-systems are increasingly involved in accidents (e.g. autonomous vehicles). In this seminar, Dr. Jan De Bruyne will first give an overview of some recent initiatives regarding liability. Once this general overview has been given, he will further discuss some specific legal challenges related to tort and product liability, as well as provide some normative proposals that can be relied upon by policy-makers.
