Abstract

This article analyzes civil liability arising from the use of generative artificial intelligence systems, considering the challenges imposed by algorithmic autonomy and probabilistic causality. The study is based on the problem of the insufficiency of traditional fault-based attribution criteria to regulate damages produced by generative models. The objective is to examine whether the risk-creation theory constitutes a more appropriate legal foundation for attribution in such cases. The research is qualitative in nature, developed through a bibliographic review using a deductive approach grounded in contemporary civil-constitutional legal doctrine. The results indicate that strict liability, as provided for in Article 927, sole paragraph, of the Brazilian Civil Code, offers normative support compatible with the technological complexity involved. It is concluded that civil liability does not constitute an obstacle to innovation, but rather an instrument of technological governance and protection of fundamental rights.
