Session information
AI DAY My robot caused the loss! Artificial intelligence (AI), losses and the new and more complicated world of seeking redress for the consequences of AI errors
Thursday 11 October (1430 - 1545)
Committee(s)
Class Actions Committee
(Lead)
Description
Robots or algorithms are now responsible for more decisions and activity impacting on humans than ever before, from driverless vehicles, farm machinery and factory robots to financial products, lending decisions and securities trading. This session will focus on how commercial parties (over and above smaller consumers) seek redress for losses resulting from artificial intelligence (AI) errors. It is a much more complicated and expensive process in proving traditional negligence or failure, and can involve wrongdoing by parties far removed from the end product, often parties in foreign jurisdictions and possibly state-supplied data or infrastructure. Will we have to review our approach to redress and liability laws generally to cope with the AI revolution?
