Abstract: Abstract Artificial Intelligence agents have wide-scale applications in various sectors such as finance transportation, legal work, etc. Despite multiple benefits, these agents pose complex legal challenges. This paper performs a detailed examination of AI agent’s legal complexity by analyzing liability, accountability, privacy requirements, intellectual property rights, and moral dilemmas. With the analytical method, this paper has synthesized scholarly research, case studies, and regulatory frameworks to gain a full appreciation of AI agents in legal matters. This effort of analyzing and consolidating the existing literature review, particularly concerning the legal intricacies revolving around the AI Agents provides the base for future research in the area of accountability and liability of the AI Agents. The current business environment experiences fundamental operational shifts because AI technology integration generates substantial consequences throughout multiple legal domains. From employment law to competition law, and from contract enforcement to consumer protection, the ripple effects of AI are felt everywhere. Legal discussion on AI involves critical analysis of several major issues, including liability questions, privacy protection matters, intellectual property rights concerns, and general ethical problems that exceed accepted social norms and legal principles. Each of these concerns is multi-layered, for example, liability debates touch on both civil and criminal law, while privacy and IP issues involve balancing innovation with individual rights. This has created a demand for immediate reorientation of the existing legal and regulatory framework. Without such reorientation, governments risk lagging behind technological development, leaving citizens and businesses exposed to uncertain and possibly harmful outcomes.
