    "Currently, the law treats machines as if they were all created equal, as simple consumer products. In most cases, when an accident occurs, standards of strict product liability law apply. In other words, unless a consumer uses a product in an outrageous way or grossly ignores safety warnings, the manufacturer is automatically considered at fault."

Israeli Chip To Enable Car-To-Car Communication And Prevent Accidents | Technology News - 0 views

  •  
    "Other solutions exist but they sometimes provide minimal time to react - sensors installed on the exterior of the car can tell the driver when to break only when he's a few seconds away from crashing- a distance which most of the time is enough to reduce the impact of the crash but not to prevent it."

Statistically, self-driving cars are about to kill someone. What happens next? | Scienc... - 0 views

  •  
    "As the miles grow, the odds shrink. At some point, a car driving autonomously or semi-autonomously will cause a fatal accident. If their performance is remotely comparable to a human's, that moment could come within the next 18-24 months. If so, by the law of averages it will probably involve a Tesla Model 3. Self-driving cars may be about to have their Driscoll moment."

Who Owns AI-Generated Content? Understanding Ownership, Copyrighting, and How the Law i... - 1 views

  •  
    "Needless to say, AI-generated accidents and AI-generated artworks are viewed differently under the law. As far as art goes, be it a video, an image, a script, a song, or any medium that the AI can work with, the (US) law is pretty straightforward - According to copyright law, only humans can be granted copyrights. If it's created by AI, nobody can claim ownership of it or copyright it."
