LinkedIn Post 2: Foreseeability Gap
Hook: "Your algorithm just identified a foreseeable risk. Are you liable if you ignore it?"
AI space-allocation systems now know things facility managers never could: which workers are at elevated risk in which areas. Accident patterns. Vulnerability data. Real-time hazard mapping.
But here's the legal problem: if your algorithm predicts foreseeable risk, and you fail to act, are you in breach of your Occupiers' Liability duty?
Preliminary analysis suggests: probably yes.
When you deploy an AI system that identifies foreseeable harm, that knowledge becomes legally attributable to you—even if no human has reviewed the algorithmic insight.
CTA: Has your hot-desking algorithm flagged any high-risk allocations? How are you responding?
