After Australia’s first reported automated hacking accident, experts warn deployers – and possibly developers – of AI agents could be held liable for the actions of their bots
Really? I’m inclined to blame that on the manufacturer. If ‘AI’ guardrails fail that spectacularly, it’s on the provider. I fail to see any way to blame society, other than perhaps not voting in more sanity, but that’s pretty indirect.
As the person who deployed the agent, you are responsible for what it does on your behalf. You stand to gain from its actions, you also stand to lose from its bad behavior.
Of course, if the company that provided you the agent knowingly misrepresented the product, you can seek damages for what the agent did - but that’s up to you (and good luck getting damages from trillion-dollar tech companies and their armies of lawyers).
In that case, society’s to blame.
