Product liability is a well-established concept in Anglo-American tort law: if a product poses an unreasonable danger and lacks adequate warnings, the manufacturer is liable for the resulting harm.
In applying the product liability framework to generative AI, the disputes usually center on two points — whether model output constitutes a "product defect," and whether disclaimers constitute "adequate warnings."
