Compensation of Damage Caused by the Use of Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

This article is devoted to the issues of compensation for damage caused by the use of artificial intelligence. The article touches upon the problem of defining the concept of artificial intelligence, as well as determining the subject of responsibility in case of harm caused by artificial intelligence. The authors consider the possibility of attributing the use of artificial intelligence to activities that create increased danger, and in this regard, bringing its owner to responsibility under article 1079 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. The authors do not support the point of view according to which responsibility is assigned to a person who profits from the use of artificial intelligence. Attention is drawn to the issues of liability under article 1095 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, according to which the seller or manufacturer (developer) of artificial intelligence can be held liable for damage caused by product defects. In the interests of the consumer, as a weaker party, the authors propose to establish norms with the possibility of bringing both the owner and the manufacturer of artificial intelligence to joint responsibility.
