A core theme of the legal statement is the rejection of the idea that AI has created a legal vacuum and operates outside the existing law. English law has a well-established track record of developing mechanisms for addressing technological disruption and existing doctrines in contract, negligence, professional liability, product liability and causation can generally accommodate AI-related disputes.
