Abstract	Artificial intelligence is the ability of a machine to think and act like humans or replicate” cognitive” functions that humans associate with other human minds, such as “learning and “problem solving”. As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly integrated into sectors ranging from healthcare and finance to transportation and legal systems, questions of legal accountability become critical. AI is helping in medical diagnosis, managing health records, designing treatments, managing medication and drug creation. AI refers to the capacity of machines to perform cognitive tasks like thinking, perceiving, learning, problem solving and decision making initially conceived as technology that could mimic human intelligence. When AI systems cause harm or violate legal norms, it becomes essential to determine who is responsible. This paper explores the legal liabilities surrounding AI, evaluates current legal frameworks, and proposes recommendations for addressing these emerging challenges.
