An act relating to defenses in civil actions based on harm caused by artificial intelligence

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill would prevent defendants from claiming that artificial intelligence (AI) acted on its own to cause harm in a civil lawsuit. If passed, people suing for damages caused by AI would not have to face the defense that the AI was solely responsible. However, defendants could still use other legal defenses and present evidence about the situation.
