AI legal framework proposed for agentic tort liability

A new academic paper proposes an interaction-based legal framework for assigning liability when autonomous AI systems cause harm. The framework draws on theories of human planning and concerted action to categorize AI interactions into autonomous drift, pure tool use, or collaborative planning. It suggests using interaction logs as evidence to determine where responsibility should lie, proposing a 'Reasonable Agent' standard focused on verification, transparency, and logging. AI

IMPACT Proposes a novel legal framework for AI liability, potentially influencing future regulations and court decisions regarding AI-caused harm.

    Acting with AI: An Interaction-Based Framework for Agentic Tort Liability

    arXiv:2606.00518v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic AI systems can plan over multiple steps, use tools, and execute tasks over time. When such systems cause harm, tort law struggles to allocate responsibility because the harmful path may be neither fully chosen by the user no…
