A vehicle steered by an artificial intelligence system causes an accident. Who is liable for the damage? The developer of the AI? The car manufacturer? The owner or the passengers of the car? The Austrian Law on civil liability for road and railway accidents (EKGH) provides the answer: the vehicle owner. However, AI is used in other areas, too. Which rules shall apply when artificial intelligence makes a wrong cancer diagnosis? Gregor Christandl maps out innovative approaches in this regard, e.g., strict liability for high-risk AI. For this purpose, he looks at legal solutions of multiple countries in a comparative perspective.
