Bridging the accountability gap of artificial intelligence – What can be learned from Roman law?

AI creates new problems for the attribution of responsibility. The incumbent law is not yet ready to close those gaps of responsibility.

Quintavalla.For the link of the publication of the paper mentioned above, please click here.
