Conclusion

This chapter will attempt to develop some action-oriented approaches that, if implemented, could increase the civil and criminal regulatory system's responsiveness to liability issues of legal and ethical concerns, like when deciding the proper liability standard for artificial intelligence software, we need to consider both the intended function of the program and how the software is being sold. If the function of the software is potentially dangerous (such as engineering design or item delivery), strict liability should be applied. On the other hand, if the intended function is not risky (for example, providing gardening advice), then the liability standard is determined by how the software is marketed. Lastly, it concludes that where the software is mass-marketed, then strict liability will apply, and if the software is a custom program, then negligence would apply in that case. So, it is in our best interest to continue developing software and increase the benefits of technology.
