Civil Liability for Damages Caused by Artificial Intelligence: A Comparative Legal Analysis

Abstract

Today, the world is witnessing an unprecedented technological leap, one of its most prominent manifestations being artificial intelligence technologies, which have become an indispensable necessity. They have imposed themselves as a fundamental tool for keeping pace with global development and benefiting from their capabilities in various fields; otherwise, we may face falling behind developed countries.
It is undeniable how much artificial intelligence affects different areas of life, whether cultural, social, economic, military, or scientific, as these systems are able to perform tasks that sometimes exceed human mental capacity, starting from facilitating global communication, passing through completing digital and computational tasks, and reaching active contribution in the industrial sector in all its forms.
Despite the great benefits it provides, the widespread use of these technologies may result in serious damages, which raises the need to study the civil liability arising from them.
This research aims to provide a comprehensive definition of artificial intelligence, explain its characteristics, and address the patterns of civil liability related to damages resulting from its use.
