Abstract:The Paper reads into how, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become part of our lives than we know of. It will focus on the different interpretations given by nations in determining the liability of AI. The paper will analyse the landmarks cases pertaining to AI and the genesis behind it. One of the common problem that many nations face in AI is, determining who’s at fault, while in some nations believe it is the company that made the AI is liable, while in some nations have opted the view that the person who drew the algorithm for the AI is responsible others believe is the company that bought the AI software/machine and used it. The paper further looks into the principle Ryland’s v Fletcher set in 1860’s and how it is being applied in judging the present AI situation, along with setting the precedents for the future. While some countries do agree with the strict liability principle set in Ryland’s v Fletcher other don’t. AI is not only limited to industrial machines, cars, smartphones it is also a part of medical field as many AI machines/ software do perform surgeries or give a report based on their algorithm, which in the recent past has caused a medical negligence, the paper will further draw focus on medical negligence and AI and different nations. The paper will also further talk about a much needed uniform policy for interpretation of AI and its liabilities which would help innovators and entrepreneur make / sale their product.
