KU Leuven University organizes a an online AIDA short course on “AI and liability” offered through the International Artificial Intelligence Doctoral Academy (AIDA). 

AI is become increasingly more prominent in our daily professional and social lives. Although it brings many benefits, the increased of AI will present many challenges as well. In addition to several ethical issues, regulatory challenges will arise as well. A recurring topic in several supranational policy documents is the question who can and should be held liable when an AI-system causes damage. This is not surprising considering that AI-systems are increasingly involved in accidents (e.g. autonomous vehicles). In this seminar, dr. Jan De Bruyne will first give an overview of some recent initiatives regarding liability. Once this general overview has been given, he will further discuss some specific legal challenges related to extra-contractual and product liability as well as provide some normative proposals that can be relied upon by policy-makers.

This short course will cover the following topics:

– AI and regulation (general overview)

– liability and AI
