Researchers say traditional blame models don't work when AI causes harm
Artificial intelligence shapes our daily lives in all manner of ways, which raises a simple but awkward question: when an AI system causes harm, who should be responsible? A new study from South Korea's Pusan National University says the answer isn’t one person or one group, arguing instead that responsibility should be shared across everyone involved, including the AI systems that help shape the outcome.
The paper published in Topoi looks closely at the long-running responsibility gap. That gap appears when AI behaves in ways nobody meant, creating harm that can’t easily be pinned on the system or the people behind it.
