ADM is entrusted with consequential decisions in all walks of life. The have the capacity to cause considerable harm as well as good. For example, embodied robots and self-driving vehicles may cause physical harm or property damage; while faulty or biased disembodied systems, such as credit scoring and job recruitment tools, are capable of seriously and unjustly curtailing life opportunities, especially for vulnerable groups. Civil liability laws (and insurance regimes built upon them) are one important mechanism for: - Compensating those who are harmed by poorly designed or deployed ADM; - Incentivising safer and more responsible practice on the part of developers and deployers; and - Promoting efficient and just allocations of risk and cost in relation to ADM harms.  This panel, moderated by José-Miguel Bello y Villarino, will explore the opportunities and challenges for applying civil liability laws to ADM- related harms. The intention of the panel is to provide a global, comparative perspective both on challenges and actual or potential approaches to overcoming them.
