A tribunal rejected Air Canada's claim its chatbot was a separate entity

In Moffatt v. Air Canada, 2024 BCCRT 149 (decided February 14, 2024), the tribunal called Air Canada’s argument that its chatbot was “a separate legal entity that is responsible for its own actions” a “remarkable submission,” holding the airline “responsible for all the information on its website” and awarding Moffatt $650.88 in damages.
