Digitalization was yesterday. We are now in the midst of the AI revolution – and everything is being transformed. Within the and as part of the artificial intelligence transformation, more and more software, vehicles, aircraft (especially drones) as well as machines are equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) and/or they can act at least partially autonomously. They also use new technologies such as deep learning. As a result, the image of the world as we know it is significantly changing. While some of these changes are relatively unproblematic (such as an autonomous lawnmower robot), other applications harbor much more potential for conflict and even danger, such as a partially or fully autonomous driving vehicle. In some countries, such as California, USA, fully autonomous cabs (self-driving vehicles) are already in use. The path to robotaxis is already mapped out. – We advise our clients with regards to all legal issues arising in connection with artificial intelligence (AI), in particular liability issues and business liability insurance policies.
