About

Omri Rachum-Twaig is a leading voice in the emerging field of AI law and robotics regulation, with a focused expertise on the intersection of liability, autonomy, and legal personhood. His most influential work, "Whose Robot Is It Anyway?: Liability for Artificial-Intelligence-Based Robots" (2019), has garnered 26 citations and fundamentally reframes the debate around accountability for autonomous systems. In this seminal paper, Rachum-Twaig challenges traditional tort law frameworks by examining how AI-driven robots—operating without direct human supervision—disrupt established notions of fault and causation. He argues that as these entities become increasingly independent, the legal system must renegotiate who bears responsibility for their actions. His subsequent commentary on Ryan Abbott’s *The Reasonable Robot* (2022) further explores whether AI law represents a genuine renegotiation of legal principles or merely a reproduction of existing human-centric norms. Rachum-Twaig’s work is essential for students and researchers grappling with the practical implications of deploying intelligent machines in society, offering critical insights into how we might design liability regimes that are both fair and adaptive to technological change.
