The rise of the ‘machine defendant’ – who’s to blame when an AI makes mistakes?
(theconversation.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
This topic came up when self-driving was first coming up. If a car runs over someone, who is to blame?
Most of these would likely be indemnified by all kinds of legal and contractual agreements, but the matter would still stand that someone died.
An insurer is an interesting one for sure. They'd have the stats of how many times that AI model makes mistakes and be able to charge accordingly. They'd also have the funds and evidence to go after big corps if their AI was faulty.
They seem like a good starting point, until negligence elsewhere can be proven.
