A Canadian small claims tribunal reportedly ordered Air Canada to pay $812.02 in damages and court fees after its website chatbot allegedly provided inaccurate information about bereavement fare eligibility, leading a customer to overpay for flights. The tribunal reportedly found the airline responsible for information presented by its chatbot, rejecting the argument that the chatbot was a separate legal entity, and characterized the error as negligent misrepresentation.
