Ian Stewart (Partner-Los Angeles, CA) will present the webinar “The Robot in My Living Room: A New Frontier for Product Liability and Privacy Claims,” hosted by the Privacy and Cybersecurity Law Section of the Beverly Hills Bar Association on November 2, 2026. Ian’s program examines how traditional product liability theories ‒ design defect, manufacturing defect, and failure to warn ‒ break down when applied to a continuously learning robot, and how liability may be distributed across hardware makers, foundation model developers, system integrators, and owners. Ian walks through the convergence of injury and privacy claims; the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA), and Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule (COPPA) exposure created by always-on cameras and biometric collection; and the "silent AI" coverage gaps facing homeowners, manufacturers, and insurers. Attendees will leave understanding where the first serious home-robot lawsuits are likely to land and what documentation and coverage language positions clients to withstand them.
