Time: 14:00 – 16:00 IST (08:30 – 10:30 UTC)

About the Summit

The International Agentic AI Accountability and Liability Summit 2026 will convene leading experts, legal scholars, policymakers, researchers, and practitioners to examine one of the most pressing legal challenges emerging from the rapid development of artificial intelligence: accountability and liability for autonomous AI agents.

Taking place virtually on 25 November 2026, the Summit will open the International Conference on Cyberlaw, Cybercrime and Cybersecurity 2026 (ICCC 2026) as its inaugural session.

Under the central theme "When an AI Agent Acts, Who Answers, on What Record, and Under What Law?", this two-hour working session will explore the legal and regulatory questions arising when AI agents make decisions, execute tasks, interact with third parties, and cause harm.

Key Themes and Discussion Areas

The Summit will focus on three fundamental dimensions of agentic AI accountability:

• Who Answers? – Identifying responsibility and liability when AI agents act autonomously or semi-autonomously, including the roles of developers, deployers, operators, users, and other stakeholders.
• On What Record? – Examining auditability, traceability, evidence preservation, transparency, and documentation requirements for AI-driven actions.
• Under What Law? – Exploring the applicability of product liability, fault-based liability, agency principles, and fiduciary duties, alongside questions of jurisdiction, applicable law, and cross-border liability.

Special Focus: The Legal Foundations of AI Agent Liability

A central discussion will examine which legal framework offers the most appropriate foundation for addressing harm caused by AI agents:

• Product liability and defective AI systems.
• Fault-based liability and standards of reasonable care.
• Agency law and the legal consequences of AI-driven actions.
• Fiduciary duties and responsibilities arising from AI-enabled decision-making.
• Cross-border liability, jurisdictional challenges, and conflicts of law.

The Summit will encourage critical examination of emerging legal positions, regulatory approaches, and draft frameworks across jurisdictions.

Format and Participation

The Summit is designed as a focused, two-hour international working session featuring short expert interventions of approximately five minutes, followed by moderated discussions.

The objective is to encourage constructive criticism, comparative legal analysis, and meaningful dialogue on emerging approaches to AI accountability and liability. The discussions will not be treated as endorsements or agreed institutional positions.

Who Should Attend?

The Summit will be particularly relevant to:

• Legal professionals and technology law practitioners.
• AI governance and regulatory policy experts.
• Academics and legal researchers.
• Cyberlaw and cybersecurity professionals.
• AI developers, technology companies, and industry representatives.
• Policymakers and government officials.
• Researchers working on emerging technologies, digital governance, and liability frameworks.
