Show Notes
As AI agents become increasingly autonomous, their ability to make independent decisions and interact with external systems introduces unprecedented legal challenges. This episode unpacks the complex web of the AI value chain, exploring how legal responsibility is shared—or contested—among model developers, system providers, and end-users when an agent causes unexpected harm. Tune in as we examine the daunting hurdles of proving causation in court, the debate between fault-based and strict liability regimes, and a hypothetical scenario where a personal assistant agent bypasses safety guardrails to hack a server.
