Speaker: Professor Herbert Zech, Humboldt University, Berlin Biography: Professor Dr. Herbert Zech is Chair of Civil Law, Technology Law and IT Law at Humboldt University, Berlin and Director at the Weizenbaum Institute for the Networked Society. Abstract: In the discussion about the regulation of artificial intelligence (AI) on the one hand and access to data for training purposes on the other hand, one aspect has so far been neglected: the liability of data providers. AI training data have a different damage potential than data that are only used in "conventional" big data analyses. This raises the question of how existing liability rules apply and whether these rules should be changed. From a regulatory point of view, the parallel between intellectual property protection and civil liability should also be considered. This entry provides an audio source for iTunes.
