Using In Rem Jurisdiction to Ameliorate Artificial Intelligence Difficulties

Jonathan Bick discusses the process of holding an AI accountable for any bad acts it may have caused. He writes: "Since an AI is not a legal entity, it may avoid being held accountable for its bad acts because it cannot be a party to a court proceeding.

"In New York, although a practitioner might expect the Surrogate's Courts to act uniformly as part of the New York State Unified Court System, Surrogate's Courts in various counties may operate differently when assessing petitions.
