## Resource

Whether a developer, business, or user bears the onus of responsibility if an autonomous agentic AI tool makes a mistake remains an open question, on both the legislative and policy fronts. In the absence of legislative or policy guidance, such questions could cause legal and contractual headaches. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Lander & Rogers partners Matthew McMillan and Margaret Gigliotti about the advent of agentic AI and its significance, the parties who could have responsibility for mistakes made by new technologies and why, the liability concerns at play, the potential for increased disputes or contractual claims, the need for legislative and policy clarity, and the role of lawyers in ensuring best practice in the workplace and with clients until such developments come to fruition.
