  1. Consumer protection law, which addresses deceptive and misleading marketing practices.
    Plausible but wrong: consumer protection targets deceptive practices, not physical injury from a design defect.
  2. Antidiscrimination law, which addresses biased treatment of protected groups.
    Plausible but wrong: antidiscrimination law concerns unequal treatment, not injury from a defective device.
  3. Intellectual property law, which addresses ownership of the device's software.
    Plausible but wrong: intellectual property concerns rights over the software, not liability for a physical injury.
  4. Product liability law, which addresses design and manufacturing defects in goods. ✓
    Correct: product liability law holds manufacturers responsible for harm caused by design and manufacturing defects, including in AI-enabled devices.
The trap
Overlooking product liability as the regime for physical harm caused by defective AI-enabled products.
