ABSTRACT This paper critically examines the allocation of liability when autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) systems cause accidents. Problems of applying existing principles of legal liability in AI environment are addressed. This paper argues that the sharing of risk as a basis for proportionate liability should be a basis for a new liability regime to govern future autonomous machines. It is argued that this approach favors the reality of parties’ consent to taking the risk of unpredictable AI behavior over the technicality of existing principles of legal liability. The suggested approach also encourages transparency and responsible decisions of developers and owners of AI systems. A flowchart to clarify possible outcomes of applying the suggested approach is provided. The paper also discusses the need for harmonization of national laws and international cooperation regarding AI incidents crossing national borders to ensure predictability of legal rules governing the liability ensuing from AI applications.

人工智能与法律责任：走向基于风险分担的比例责任国际方法

摘要 本文批判性地研究了自主人工智能 (AI) 系统导致事故时的责任分配。解决了在人工智能环境中应用现有法律责任原则的问题。本文认为，作为比例责任基础的风险分担应该成为管理未来自主机器的新责任制度的基础。有人认为，这种方法有利于各方同意承担不可预测的人工智能行为风险的现实，而不是现有法律责任原则的技术性。建议的方法还鼓励人工智能系统的开发人员和所有者的透明度和负责任的决策。提供了阐明应用建议方法的可能结果的流程图。
