Risk profile
How this risk is described and categorized.
"Liability and negligence are legal gray areas in artificial intelligence. If you leave your children in the care of a robotic nanny, and it malfunctions, are you liable or is the manufacturer [45]? We see here a legal gray area which can be further clarified through legislation at the national and international levels; for example, if by making the manufacturer responsible for defects in operation, this may provide an incentive for manufactures to take safety engineering and machine ethics into consideration, whereas a failure to legislate in this area may result in negligentlydeveloped AI systems with greater associated risks."
