ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SYSTEMS AS A SOURCE OF EXCESSIVE RISK: FORCE MAJEURE SITUATION

Abstract

This article scientifically analyzes the civil law features of force majeure arising in artificial intelligence systems, which are a source of increased danger. The concept of force majeure, circumstances that do not depend on the will and actions of the participants in the legal relationship and lead to the breach of obligations and unlawful damage as a result of an extraordinary and inevitable event, the consequences of which cannot be prevented or eliminated under certain circumstances, is also discussed. In particular, the development of relations between artificial intelligence systems and humans has been analyzed; sometimes these systems cause harm to humans, and such losses occur due to various random events or technological failures, software errors that occur in artificial intelligence systems. At the same time, the opinions of legal scholars and practitioners on the legal status of artificial intelligence systems were analyzed. The non-absolute control over the processes of artificial intelligence systems and the civil-legal features of force majeure in determining responsibility for damage caused to people due to technological failures, software errors, or sudden accidents occurring in these systems are revealed. The article also developed proposals on the grounds for excluding liability for damage caused by artificial intelligence systems in the event of force majeure.
