Artificial Intelligence and Liability
Harm, Contracts and the Protection of Rights in the Use of AI
Artificial intelligence does not create a liability-free zone. When something goes wrong, the questions remain concrete: who was expected to do what, what checks were reasonable and what loss followed.
Professional errors
We examine cases in which AI tools contributed to an incorrect or inadequate professional service, distinguishing the professional’s conduct from the operation of the tool.
Contracts and providers
We analyse obligations, warranties, limitations of liability and remedies in relationships with software and AI-service providers.
Deepfakes, reputation and evidence
With manipulated content, speed matters, but evidence matters too. Preservation, identification of the parties involved and removal measures are considered together with any claim for damages.
Insurance
We assess how AI-related risks interact with professional indemnity, cyber and other policies, without assuming that the risk is either covered or excluded.
The presence of AI does not determine liability by itself: conduct, damage and causation still have to be established.
