When a Robot Causes Harm, Who Can the Victim Sue?
A legal analysis by Jurist.org examines the unanswered question of liability when robots injure people. As robots move into homes, hospitals, workplaces and roads, existing law offers no clear path for victims: responsibility could fall on manufacturers, software developers, owners or operators, and traditional product liability rules were not written for autonomous machines that learn and adapt. Commentators are calling for updated liability frameworks as automation spreads.
Why now: Rapid adoption of AI and autonomous robots is outpacing existing liability law, prompting debate over who bears responsibility when machines cause harm.
