The growing incorporation of Artificial
Intelligence (AI) in business strategy and decision-making introduced
Substantial moral and Judicial dilemmas particularly concerning liability for
AI- driven actions. The use of Artificial intelligence to inform business
decision making will create new legal issues that may push the limits of
current legal frameworks for holding entities liable. This article will
identify the current state of liability under which companies are responsible
for damages caused by their AI, as well as to what extent previous models of
liability such as negligence, strict liability, and vicarious liability can be
applied to AI algorithms. One factor that creates substantial difficulties for
establishing proximate cause or foreseeability, both of which are fundamental
components of tort law, is the "black box".
To determine whether there are differences in
regulation across different countries regarding AI and its use as a tool for
business decision making, this article will compare the regulations from major
markets around the world including India, China, Canada, Europe and the U.S.,
focusing on the European Union's regulatory approach through the AI Act and the
revision to its Product Liability Directive.
As companies become increasingly reliant on AI for
all types of strategic and operational decisions, this article identifies
several gaps in current regulatory approaches and provides guidance on future
development of robust, fair liability regimes that allow for continued
technological innovation while also holding companies responsible for the
decisions made by their AI.
