Compensation for Damages Caused by Artificial Intelligence in Jordanian Legislation

Artificial intelligence technology has developed rapidly in recent times, such that the robot has become one of its most prominent manifestations, making it an intervention in multiple fields such as medicine, industry, education, etc., which raises many legal problems and obstacles, especially concerning the issue of determining the person responsible for compensating for the damages caused. It has a robot, so this study aimed to apply the rules of tort civil liability to damages caused by artificial intelligence applications in Jordanian legislation and to explain the provisions for compensation resulting from this compensation, relying on the descriptive and analytical approach. The study concluded that legal liability depends on local legislation and laws. In some cases, the owner or developer of the robot is considered responsible for any damages resulting from the use of the robot. The company that owns the robot may bear responsibility for the damages it causes, and this responsibility may include financial compensation for affected individuals. Finally, the study recommended developing clear, specific legislation regulating the obligor's liability for the damages caused by intelligent robots and setting standards and requirements for safety and security at the level of design and operation of robots to reduce the risk of damage.
