On the legal aspects of responsible AI: adaptive change, human oversight, and societal outcomes
On the legal aspects of responsible AI: adaptive change, human oversight, and societal outcomes
This paper discusses the ways in which complexity and degrees of autonomy in AI-based medical devices (AIaMD) may challenge the safety and performance of software for EU regulatory alignment and responsible AI regard-ing AI-induced harms. It examines the EU Commission proposals for an AI Liability Directive and a revised Product Liability Directive to identify two research challenges that must be addressed for tracing and assigning legal responsibility of AI-induced harms during the products lifecyle. These challenges relate to identifications of “defects” arising from algorithmic change and degrees of human oversight. Some suggestions will be made in how they can be addressed through causal modelling, counterfactuals, and responsibility reasoning.

Abstract
This paper discusses the ways in which complexity and degrees of autonomy in AI-based medical devices (AIaMD) may challenge the safety and performance of software for EU regulatory alignment and responsible AI regard-ing AI-induced harms. It examines the EU Commission proposals for an AI Liability Directive and a revised Product Liability Directive to identify two research challenges that must be addressed for tracing and assigning legal responsibility of AI-induced harms during the products lifecyle. These challenges relate to identifications of “defects” arising from algorithmic change and degrees of human oversight. Some suggestions will be made in how they can be addressed through causal modelling, counterfactuals, and responsibility reasoning.
