AI Liability
The legal responsibility assigned to parties for damages or harms caused by AI systems, encompassing product liability, negligence and strict liability frameworks.
In plain language
Who pays when AI causes harm? If a self-driving car causes an accident, is it the car maker, the software company or the owner? AI liability determines who's legally responsible.
Why this matters
Understanding AI liability is critical for risk management and insurance planning. Your AI governance framework must clearly define responsibility and accountability chains so the organisation can manage legal exposure effectively.
Relevance
