Jalekam Kakkar on AI companies should be liable for harms…

Jalekam Kakkar

Executive Director of the Centre for Communication Governance at National Law University Delhi.

Justice systems will have to bridge accountability gaps of who is truly liable. They will have to grapple with the transparency questions. How does the person who's affected prove harm and gather evidence without access to models and information around how they are being impacted? We will have to think about shifting of burden, perhaps on companies, to demonstrate that harm is not present in a given situation.

Mandate third-party audits for major AI systems

So every system, you know, predeployment through the design stage needs to be thought through. We need to have certification and post-deployment monitoring of harms and impacts.
