Professor Pavlovic and Professor Martin-Bariteau previously argued in a book chapter on AI and contracts that this decision was expected because when an AI agent goes rogue, the principal/player behind it is responsible for its actions.

Professor Pavlovic's work also comprises air passenger rights.
