Obviously this is up to courts and juries to hammer out but...
- Your agentic loop hacked something? You're liable. - FSD crashes? The guy in the driver's seat is liable. He/his insurance can sue Tesla to spread the liability...
Nowhere along the line will anyone go "Oh, the AI did it... whoops"
I don’t know.
Let’s say someone sells me a shovel and markets it as a shovel. Then the shovel explodes because it was actually a bomb.
Presumably the manufacturer is liable for passing off their bomb as a shovel.
This metaphor seems reasonably accurate for current LLMs
