If AI system fails then it can be dangerous because it may leak confidential documents. Failure of AI system can harm your ongoing projects and may result negative outcomes that will affect the productivity of the any business.

It depends on what the AI program was designated to do that's going to determine what the consequences of its system failure is going to be like. If it's for minor project tasks like writing and studying, it's only going to provide wrong information. But if its something like in the health sector, it may result to causing death.

The real problem when AI system fails and causes damages is to determine who rightly takes the fall for it. That's because sometimes, we would easily blame the company when the user is truly at fault for the AI system failure.

While the regulatory landscape for AI is still evolving, there are national laws in some countries that bother on responsible tech development by companies which places the burden if responsibility on tech companies for system failures. They can be prosecuted by a competent court of law, like in my country for their systems failing.

We are still awaiting regulations that would be specific to AI and would touch AI system failures. The Euro Act on AI that is still in progress to be streamlined and adopted is one of such.

When an AI system screws up and causes a major loses/damage, what protocols are in place to hold the company in charge of that AI system accountable?
It is actually as a result of this kind of system failures that artificial intelligence program might have that is making me to reduce the level of dependency I am having on such computer programs. This is because it might result in a very technical problem that will render my job useless and it's most likely going to cost me a lot of money.

So, in a situation whereby the artificial intelligence program is not available or in a good state to help me to work, I can be able to work without needing its assistant.

I think if ai is being used in the major sectors like health care, medicines, manufacturing, etc. then there should be a team of experts which must monitor the entire outcomes and make changes to it.

The company behind the development and coding is any AI program will be the one's charged with the responsibility of making sure they are performing the way they're expected to. They're the ones to run checks to know where an upgrade is needed when it's needed for them to do it.

Yeah because AI is a human generated programming resource that is also not perfect and may be malfunctioned anytime. So, proper monitoring of AI is essential if it is used in the major sectors.

That's a great question. When it comes to accountability for AI systems, there are several protocols in place, but they vary depending on the jurisdiction and the specific circumstances. Generally, companies are held accountable through legal frameworks, such as product liability laws, which usually holds them responsible for any damages caused by their AI systems. However, AI ethics and accountability laws are still evolving, and there's ongoing discussion about appropriate regulations regarding accountability for AI-related incidents.

Your response sheds light on the complexity of holding companies accountable for AI-related incidents. I'm curious. Do you think there's a need for more proactive measures beyond legal frameworks to ensure responsible AI development and deployment?

In my opinion, proactive measures such as incorporating ethical principles into AI design, promoting transparency, and encouraging responsible research practices can help fill the gaps and ensure that AI development remains as ethical as possible.

This is actually the stage which AI companies are working very hard now to develop and install in all their AI programs because this is a feature that's going to make AI programs work like a machine and also a human being but without the flaw of human beings.

I think governments should make companies that develop AI systems to fully disclose the processes for development of their models alongside possible limitations. This could to a large extent help individuals know the risk of using a particular AI model.

In the long term, AI specific legislations would be necessary to task AI companies to develop near fail proof AI systems.
