Abstract

This chapter discusses the question of who is responsible in the case of an accident involving a robot or an AI system that results in some form of damage. Assigning liability is challenging because of the complexity of the situation and because of the complexity of the system. We discuss examples of an autonomous vehicle accident and mistargeting by an autonomous weapon in detail to highlight the relationship of the actors and technologies involved.
