Liability, Liability, Liability

Tens of thousands of AI incidents are being investigated, fueling anxiety about AI’s future and a narrative of lost control.

Governments are currently unwilling to take a firm stance, despite the potential for higher costs from inaction.

• AI models are involved in tens of thousands of problematic incidents, a higher number than previously reported.
• There is a growing public anxiety and narrative of AI being uncontrollable.
• Liability law offers a mechanism to stop risky AI products and hold companies accountable.
• Governments are reluctant to enforce liability for AI due to economic fears and avoiding being labeled anti-AI.
