Geistfeld’s Products Liability Casebook: New Edition

Mark Geistfeld has posted to SSRN Product Liability in the Age of AI.  The abstract provides:

Although the title to this book has changed, this edition continues the developmental path staked out in the prior two editions of this casebook. When I began working on the liability issues involving the crashes of autonomous vehicles about a decade ago, I felt as if I were undergoing a comprehensive final examination on product liability law. Based on that experience, I incorporated problems on the liability issues for autonomous vehicles into the second edition of this book. My ongoing research into these matters naturally led to more broad-ranging inquiries into the liability issues involving artificial intelligence. This edition expands that line of inquiry and now includes over 50 review problems involving AI-related harms. For example, courts are starting to confront issues involving AI-related harms, including the predicate question whether software is a product or a service for tort purposes. Portions of that chapter are included here, along with the Table of Contents and related front-end materials.
