Abstract

The emergence of technology which resorts to techniques commonly grouped under the moniker “artificial intelligence” challenges long-standing tenets of Civil Law, given their autonomy. One of these challenges occurs in the context of contractual civil liability, whenever one of these so-called autonomous systems is tasked with executing the necessary acts of obligational performance. The following text intends to frame the issue at hand in the specific context of the Portuguese legal order, offering possible paths of solution in a cursory way.
