This episode explores the legal and ethical dilemmas surrounding artificial intelligence and its role in human fatalities. Based on our blog article “Thou Shall Not Kill: Exploring the Concept of Criminal Liability in Robot Homicide”, we discuss the challenges of accountability when machines cause harm.
We examine real-world incidents, such as the Uber self-driving car accident and medical misdiagnoses by AI systems, to highlight issues of liability. Potential legal frameworks are considered, including strict liability for developers and treating AI systems as legal entities.
We also tackle the ethical questions of whether AI can be held morally responsible for its actions, given its lack of intent.
Join us as we discuss paths forward, including stronger regulatory oversight, the establishment of AI ethics boards, and the need for new legal frameworks to address these emerging challenges.
