Courts have ruled that using AI allows companies to avoid liability.
Schrödinger's corporations: corporations are people and and not people, depending on how much money they stand to gain or lose.
Out of curiosity, do you have any references to those rulings? It's a topic that comes up at work a lot, I'd love to read more about it!
I can't remember the court case per se but it involved a self driving car hitting a pedestrian I think.
My cursory search on Google seems to now show companies being held liable for AI hallucinations, with one court case currently pending where an AI chat bot encouraged a teen to commit suicide.
Given our current administration and make up of SCOTUS I'm not holding my breath.
Privatize the gains, socialize the losses, evade accountability!
