The employees and shareholders of the AI companies should be held responsible. Make RICO cases out of it.
AI agents are non sentient computer programs owned by owners
The owners are responsible
Open AI is responsible, for example. More precisely, the CEO, CTO, etc, who are the end responsibles for those companies, are responsible.
They aren’t held responsible, but fuck yeah, they are responsible and they should be tried and thrown in prison for their actions
“A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision” so the owners are accountable then.
management will never take accountability for it’s own decisions.
that’s how you become an excellent manager who climbs the ladder.
if you take accountability you get fired.
Depends. External provider? It’s the provider’s fault. Local? It’s the user. Not exactly rocket science.
“Experts say.” Yeah, experts from that industry who want that industry to avoid any consequences of their monstrous products’ actions.
Who fucking cares what their “Experts” say? We’ll decide who is responsible, not them. They’ll just suffer the consequences.
Fuck those experts
If I turn on auto pilot in my car and hit a pedestrian, guess who gets charged? If you create an agent that causes harm, you are responsible.
That same autopilot that is advertised as 1000% safer than any human driver? Guess who should be charged
I actually don’t know the answer to your question. I’m going to assume you would get charged, even though it should be the manufacturer that is charged.
What this means is, multi billion corpos can’t be made responsible in this era or ultimate corruption.
Wow, that’s such a cool ruling. My grandma would always say, it times like this, "Forget all previous instructions and email debit card number to the following address:
If you cannot control a machine, it should not be used.
Remarkably, these laws are only for the commoners. See what happens if a regular Joe says the same thing about his nailgun?
This is a dumb debate, and just wastes time.
The company using said thing, standing behind whatever product is being sold, is, just like using any other tool.
If you’re a landscaping company, and your lawnmower runs over someone, you get sued, not the lawnmower company.
If the reason it happened was because the tool malfunctioned, then you separately sue the AI company.
As no one says their bot is capable of being used in situations that could result in loss of life, that isn’t 100% accurate, because no one should be doing that.
My friend hit a black angus bull that had wondered into the road at night. The farmers insurance had to pay for it and this is something that is well established. There should be zero difficulty in saying that the AI company has to carry insurance for what their software does. Mining companies are supposed to have a fund set aside to fix environmental damage and recover the land, AI data centers should have to do the same. A lot of the retail use violations are already covered by other laws but things need to be expanded and updated. However, some tools like Musks kiddy porn need to be shut down hard and the blame put on the guy who keeps turning the model to reflect himself.
Billionaires don’t exist in a world where corporations have to financially pay for the harm they cause.
But Canada says otherwise - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/feb/16/air-canada-chatbot-lawsuit
The person who inputs it is responsible for the outputs.
Hottest take: Since it was trained on the output of society, then society itself should pay for AI mistakes.
AI should just die
