AI Liability and Safety — Who Pays When AI Causes Harm?

May 7, 2026 at 10:00am (PDT)
LexisNexis' Emerging Issues Webinar Series: AI and the Law

Jeff Fisher will speak at the "AI Liability and Safety — Who Pays When AI Causes Harm?" program, part of LexisNexis' Emerging Issues Webinar Series: AI and the Law.

Overview:

When AI systems cause harm—wrong medical triage, faulty legal guidance, defamatory outputs, dangerous autonomous behavior—determining liability becomes complex. Is it product liability? Negligence? Professional malpractice? A new statutory regime? Courts and legislatures are grappling with allocation of risk among developers, deployers, and users, while professionals face emerging duties to verify AI outputs.

Key Topics:

  • Product liability for AI system failures
  • Professional malpractice when lawyers or doctors rely on AI
  • Standards of care for AI-assisted professional services
  • Verification duties and the "hallucination problem"
  • Regulatory sandboxes and affirmative defenses
  • Autonomous systems and tort law evolution
