 Abstract: This article analyses the implications of the tendency to anthropomorphise artificial intelligence (AI) systems for tort law. It shows that the view of AI technology as “autonomous”, “unexplainable” and “unpredictable” can misguide the “fit-for-purpose” assessment of the existing liability regimes. The analysis points out that risks and harm associated with AI technology are not inflicted by AI systems as such but are mediated through AI applications, while the main challenge for the allocation of tortious liability lies in the highly distributed causation between human conduct and harm. Overall, it is argued that humans can and should retain agency over mitigating technological risks and internalising harmful effects, even when the sources of those risks and harms are highly distributed.
