Visitor Misclassification

LinkedIn Post 4: Visitor Misclassification

Hook: "Your AI just classified your visitor as a trespasser."

The Occupiers' Liability Act distinguishes between visitors (owed a duty of care) and trespassers (owed minimal duty). But when AI makes this determination, who's liable when it's wrong?

A prospective tenant arrives. Your perimeter AI doesn't recognize them. Access denied. They wander the exterior looking for another entrance. They slip on unmaintained ice and fracture their arm.

Question: Are they a visitor or trespasser?

They're a visitor—authorized by your estate agent. Your AI's misclassification doesn't change that. But it does change your liability: now you've negligently caused them to occupy a higher-risk area (the unmaintained perimeter).

Preliminary analysis suggests AI perimeter control, without human visitor-status verification, expands your liability.
