Agentic AI Liability in Autonomous Supply Chain Decisions: Identifying and Preventing Legal Risks

For example, General Motors announced in March 2025 that it was working with NVIDIA Omniverse to create digital twins of assembly lines, and in March 2026 Delta Electronics announced a similar plan to monitor factory HVAC, lighting, and energy savings. As adoption accelerates, organizations should understand both the strategic advantages and the legal issues these technologies present.
