Professor Renee Henson recently presented her latest research at the AALS Section on Internet and Computer Law Works-in-Progress session. Her article, Government-Backed Insurance for Unpredictable Technologies, addresses the pressing challenge of compensating for harms caused by AI-enabled tools. Traditional insurance models often fail to manage the unique and unpredictable risks associated with AI, leaving significant gaps in coverage for diverse and unforeseen damages.
In this paper, Professor Henson examines:
- The complexities of quantifying AI-related harms.
- The limitations of existing insurance models in addressing AI risks.
- A proposal for a government-backed insurance framework inspired by the Price-Anderson Act, which addressed nuclear energy risks.
The article is forthcoming in the Georgia State Law Review this spring.
