The optimal legal basis for civil liability for informational damage caused by artificial intelligence programs

Yasser Ali Tariq

Abstract

The emergence of artificial intelligence programs represents a qualitative leap in the technical and technological field, as humans now rely on the information provided by these programs as a primary source, not merely an aid, in decision-making. However, despite their development, these programs may provide their users with information that causes them harm because it is erroneous, inaccurate, or misleading. Given that the harm, in advanced assumptions, stems from a newly developed technology, an urgent need arose to discuss the optimal legal basis for civil liability for informational harm caused by artificial intelligence programs. Some jurists turned to discussing the traditional rules of civil liability to determine their suitability as a basis for such liability, while others proposed modern theories and rules as modern foundations for the aforementioned liability. The multiplicity of these opinions was reflected in the positions of legislations, which differed in their stance on the optimal basis for establishing civil liability. Since the issue has not received specific legal regulation in Iraqi law, the idea for this research arose to analyze the jurisprudential opinions and legislative positions related to the basis of this liability in order to arrive at identifying the optimal basis for it to be adopted by the Iraqi legislator.
