AI Liability Comes Into Focus: A Conversation with Mark Geistfeld on the ALI's Civil Liability Principles Project

Given the rapid pace of AI development, they aim for timely progress, with the process potentially taking a decade to complete a bound volume, but early drafts will influence discussions much sooner.
AI Liability Comes Into Focus: A Conversation with Mark Geistfeld on the ALI's Civil Liability Principles Project
Q: Where do you stand on whether AI systems are products or services for liability purposes?
The framework is developing a nuanced approach to the product vs. service question, considering tangibility, information, and how output is used, with a focus on how liability should apply across the AI stack.
AI Liability Comes Into Focus: A Conversation with Mark Geistfeld on the ALI's Civil Liability Principles Project
Q: How is the Principles Project different from a restatement?
It is forward‑looking and not bound by existing case law; it uses a restatement‑like structure to articulate principles that apply to AI, adapted to new technology rather than merely restating what the law already says.
AI Liability Comes Into Focus: A Conversation with Mark Geistfeld on the ALI's Civil Liability Principles Project
Q: What prompted ALI to undertake a project on Civil Liability for AI?
The decision followed early concerns from groups like Carnegie and others about safety and the need for a framework, leading to a Palo Alto conference and a realization that tort liability applies now, not later, pushing ALI to develop forward‑looking principles.
White House Executive Order on Scams and Fraud Takes Center Stage
Q: What are the main gaps or next steps identified by the Aspen team?
