In his intervention, Prof. Naren examined the adequacy of traditional tort law frameworks in addressing harms arising from AI-generated outputs, particularly in situations where such outputs are produced without explicit malicious human prompting. He emphasised the need to shift the legal inquiry towards identifying responsibility across the risk architecture, including developers, deployers, platforms, and users. He further addressed the challenges posed by the &#8216;black box&#8217; nature of AI systems in defamation disputes, highlighting the evidentiary asymmetry faced by affected parties. The discussion underscored the importance of recognising system-level responsibility and the need for legal frameworks to incorporate mechanisms for accountability, transparency, and redress in the context of generative AI. The session contributed to advancing discourse on evolving legal approaches to accountability in AI-driven environments, particularly in relation to speech, reputation, and platform governance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prof. Nikhil Naren, Assistant Director at the Centre, participated as  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":7240,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7239","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jgu.edu.in\/cscailr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7239","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jgu.edu.in\/cscailr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jgu.edu.in\/cscailr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jgu.edu.in\/cscailr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jgu.edu.in\/cscailr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7239"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/jgu.edu.in\/cscailr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7239\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7241,"href":"https:\/\/jgu.edu.in\/cscailr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7239\/revisions\/7241"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jgu.edu.in\/cscailr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7240"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jgu.edu.in\/cscailr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7239"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jgu.edu.in\/cscailr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7239"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jgu.edu.in\/cscailr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7239"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
