- Developers are held responsible if their AI causes harm, even if the harm was autonomously caused by the AI.
- The law raises questions about liability, especially concerning third-party applications and open-source AI models.
- Increased adoption of AI safety measures and AI insurance is anticipated as companies seek to mitigate liability risks.
