The Problem of Establishing Civil Liability for Harmful Effects of Smart Robots

Abstract

The study addresses the definition of smart robots and their legal nature, and attempts to determine their legal classification as objects or products. The study seeks to analyze the possibility of applying the rules of civil liability for objects or civil liability for defective products to smart robots. The study also examines the legal basis for the liability of the guardian of objects for damage caused by smart robots, and the legal basis for liability for defective products for damage caused by smart robots. It also examines the compatibility and conflict between liability for guardianship of objects and smart robots, and the compatibility and conflict between liability for defective products, and the adequacy of current legal systems to address the damages that may result from the use of this advanced technology. The need to develop a modern legal framework that keeps pace with the rapid developments in the field of smart robots has emerged. The study emphasizes the importance of establishing clear legislation to ensure the protection of individual rights and accurately define responsibilities, especially in light of the increasing reliance on modern technology, which opens new doors to legal and ethical challenges.
