Who's liable when AI agents go rogue?
Original: Who’s liable when AI agents go rogue?
A new examination of legal responsibility asks who should answer when autonomous AI agents cause harm. As companies deploy AI systems that act independently on users' behalf, existing liability frameworks struggle to assign blame between developers, deployers, and users. The piece weighs whether current negligence and product liability law can cover mistakes made by software that decides and acts on its own, a question courts and regulators are only beginning to confront.
Why now: Rapid adoption of autonomous AI agents is outpacing legal frameworks for assigning responsibility when they cause harm.
