Brickken CEO: AI cannot bear liability for transaction losses, liability depends on authorization

Edwin Mata, CEO of Brickken, said AI agents start executing transactions and moving funds without continuous human approval, so responsibility should be based on authorization and not on the AI itself. According to the Sandmark report, existing laws have no clear answer to the losses caused by autonomous financial agencies, and courts need to review users, developers, platforms and institutions involved in each transaction. The report notes that contract law, negligence rules, product liability and fiduciary liability may apply, depending on who controls the agency and the cause of the loss. Mata believes that liability should not be directly attributed to software. Under current law, AI is not a legal subject that can bear liability, but a technical system that acts on behalf of natural or legal persons.
