活动介绍
The Event
AI is already reshaping nearly every area of life, bringing both new benefits and new risks. It has created novel harms, from addiction and psychosis to the dangers posed by self-driving cars, while also lowering the cost and expanding the scale of existing harms such as fraud, impersonation, cyberbullying, and discrimination. Especially concerning are the effects of these developments on children. These changes raise urgent questions about who bears responsibility when harm occurs in an increasingly automated world.
On May 26, Jeremy Daum, Senior Research Scholar in Law and Senior Fellow at Yale Law School’s Paul Tsai China Center, and Wenjuan Zhang, Senior Counsel at Beijing Zhicheng Law Firm, will join together at Yale Center Beijing for a discussion as part of the series Comparing American and Chinese Legal Approaches to AI Governance. Through a discussion of real legal cases, this event will compare and contrast the principles and priorities that shape how the U.S. and Chinese legal systems assign liability in cases involving AI.
人工智能正在重塑着生活的几乎每一个方面,不仅带来了新的机遇,也带来了新的风险。这些潜在的危害及其影响,尤其是对儿童的影响,或将引发一系列迫在眉睫的问题:在一个日益自动化的世界中,当伤害发生时,究竟应由谁来承担责任?
5月26日,中美人工智能治理法律路径比较系列活动的第二场,耶鲁大学法学院蔡中曾中国中心高级法律研究学者兼高级研究员唐哲将与北京市致诚律师事务所高级顾问张文娟共同通过对真实法律案例的讨论,比较和分析在人工智能相关案件中塑造中美法律体系责任认定方式的原则与优先考量。
