“The law is clear, says Prof Jeannie Paterson. “If I deploy an AI agent and it causes harm to someone else, I am responsible for that harm.”
In case you were wondering if it wasn’t the bleeding obvious.
If that were true Musk would have to answer for a lot of CP
The agents are the user end of things. It’s not saying the AI companies are responsible, it’s saying whoever used the AI it responsible.
The big companies have too much money to be held responsible for crimes.
