AI firms could face fiduciary‑duty liability (cluster continuation)

A growing body of academic work suggests that AI developers, like traditional financial advisers, owe a duty of care to users, requiring transparent model training data and robust mitigation of bias.

Proponents claim such a framework would give victims a clear avenue for redress after being misled by AI‑generated deep‑fakes or disinformation.

Critics warn that imposing fiduciary duties could stifle innovation and create legal uncertainty for the rapidly evolving AI sector.

Regulators in the EU and United States are monitoring the debate as they prepare new AI‑specific legislation.
