Overview

Where is artificial intelligence taking us? Concerns over "responsible" innovation have spawned debates since big data appeared, but apprehension has grown considerably with widespread adoption of AI. This report examines the legal liability related to AI systems, including where responsibility should lie for adverse effects, loss of privacy, and other challenges.

Author Karen Kilroy discusses why society needs to create laws and ethical governance frameworks for AI. Product directors, CIOs, CEOs, and risk officers will explore how AI is interpreted in law and policymaking, including issues such as privacy, negligence, liability, ethics, and entity management. This report also contains ideas for ensuring AI doesn't escape human control--and that people who control it act in a responsible manner.

You'll learn:

  • What AI is: learn its broad range of capabilities and applications, and AI's ability to influence users
  • The trust deficit: understand the uneasiness people have about the prospect of being replaced or devalued by AI's rapid and often stealth introduction to society
  • AI and the legal industry: explore how AI is used in law and explore the liability of autonomous AI
  • Innovating responsibly: examine ways that companies can learn from past mistakes and create frameworks for responsible innovation in the future
