New research examines how humans assign causal responsibility when AI systems are involved in harmful outcomes, finding that people attribute greater blame to AI when it has moderate to high autonomy, but still judge humans as more causal than AI when roles are reversed. The study provides insights for developing liability frameworks as AI incidents become more frequent and severe.
A legal research paper proposes the 'Algorithmic Corporation' (A-corp) framework to address the challenge of identifying and assigning liability for AI agents' actions as millions of autonomous AIs proliferate across the economy. The A-corp structure would create legally recognizable entities owned by humans but operated by AIs, enabling both accountability and legal recourse when AI agents cause harm.
A lawsuit has been filed against ChatGPT alleging that the AI chatbot's interactions led to psychological harm in a student, with "AI Injury Attorneys" targeting the fundamental design of the chatbot system.
