When a Robot Causes Harm, Who Can the Victim Sue?
A legal analysis published by Jurist examines the question of liability when robots injure people. Current law offers no clear answer: victims may struggle to identify a responsible party among manufacturers, software developers, owners or operators, and existing product liability frameworks were not designed for autonomous machines. The piece argues that courts and legislators will need to clarify accountability as robots become more common in homes, workplaces and public spaces.
Why now: Rapid growth of robotics and AI is outpacing existing legal frameworks, prompting debate over who bears responsibility for harm caused by autonomous machines.
