In Session Five of the SITIE2024 Symposium titled “Generative AI Tort Liability,” Professor Mark Chinen discussed Tort law in relation to artificial intelligence. He began by discussing the emerging harms in software development and then transitioned to generative AI, identifying features relevant to tort liability. Chinen also addressed the actors and parties involved in AI development and use in tort law and explored the broad issues in tort law and generative AI. Focusing on the US context, he discussed harm related to Freedom of Expression and specific torts related to AI harms.

Finally, he briefly discussed the European Union's approach to tort liability and generative AI.
