Abstract

The article discusses the issue of liability for damage caused by artificial intelligence in the context of the traditional principles of liability for damages - fault and risk. The Author analyses the provisions of Polish law that could potentially be applicable in relation to this liability, although the article also discusses EU harmonization projects and the solutions adopted therein. These reflections lead to the conclusion that the principle of risk should be the basic principle of liability, though its current form would require modification.
