Artificial intelligence has been applied in various sectors and it has been developed to the extent that it can act autonomously without human control. However, the use ofartificial intelligence raises several issues that need to be regulated by the law, including the issue of liability to compensate for non-contractual damages. The paper analyses and identifies the challenges in allocating liabilities among the parties to legal relations regarding compensation for non-contractual damages relating to artifical intelligence in accordance with the traditional perception as well as the alternatives which have been discussed and proposed to apply in some countries. On that basic, the paper offers some suggestions on the choice of methods for allocating liabilities to compensate damages for non-contractual damages relating to artificial intelligence.
