| Title | Liability for Autonomous Vehicle-Related Damages: EU, U.S., and Chinese Approaches |
| Summary | The thesis examines the regulation of liability for damages caused by artificial intelligence-driven technologies within existing tort law frameworks, adopting a comparative perspective that focuses on the European Union, the United States, and China. The rapid development of AI necessitates the formulation of new regulations. Nowadays certain technologies can operate properly without human involvement at any stage. Self-driving cars, drones, and service robots are all recent inventions. The primary characteristic of all these technologies is that they possess autonomous decision-making capabilities. Thus, existing legal frameworks, established before recent legislative developments, have proven insufficient for effectively attributing liability in the context of emerging technologies. EU, the U.S., and China are home to some of the world’s leading developers of AI technologies. As a result, they have been at the forefront of formulating comprehensive legal frameworks for AI, which may serve as potential models for other countries. This thesis will explore the existing regulations surrounding self-driven cars in the EU, U.S., and China, associated ambiguities, and potential solutions to address these uncertainties. |
