During a recent symposium on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and evidence in civil litigation at the University of California, Berkeley School of Law, legal experts warned of a potential surge in AI-related lawsuits. This is anticipated as a result of ever-growing usage of this technology and its increasing regulation.
As AI becomes more prevalent in corporate operations, understanding these complex systems – often referred to as the ‘black box’ of AI – is becoming increasingly important. This emerging trend will unavoidably lead courts as well to delve into these opaque algorithms in order to ascertain liability in impending litigations.
As we stand at the precipice of an era prominently shaped by Artificial Intelligence (“Much More Is Coming”: AI Related Suits), it becomes imperative, as per the opinions voiced at the symposium, for businesses and legal professionals alike to equip themselves with knowledge of this new technological realm, and prepare for the legal challenges it might pose.
