Holding AI accountable when autonomous systems cause harm

Holding AI Accountable When Autonomous Systems Cause Harm

Artificial intelligence is no longer just a tool that responds to human commands. Today’s AI agents book appointments, manage finances, make medical recommendations, execute trades, and even operate vehicles, often without any human review of their decisions before they act. When these systems malfunction, or simply do what they were designed to do in ways that hurt people, the consequences can be serious: financial loss, physical injury, damaged relationships, and ruined opportunities. If you’ve been harmed by an AI system acting on its own, you’re likely asking a question that more and more people are asking: who is actually responsible for this?

That question is harder to answer than it should be. AI developers, software vendors, platform operators, and the businesses that deploy these systems will often point fingers at each other, hide behind complex terms of service, or claims that the technology worked exactly as intended. We cut through that. Our practice is focused specifically on cases where autonomous AI systems have caused real harm to real people. We know how to map the chain of development, deployment, and oversight, identify every party that had a role in what harmed you, and advance the legal arguments that courts are actively being asked to consider for the first time.

We work with technical experts who can explain to a judge or jury exactly what the AI did, why it was unreasonably dangerous, and how it caused your specific injury. We take these cases on contingency. You pay nothing unless we recover for you. If an AI system made a decision with consequences that harmed you, Kolar & Lark works tirelessly to obtain the justice you deserve.
