    Rule 3, humans remain responsible

    &gt; Humans must remain fully responsible for decisions involving AI and accountable for the consequences arising from its use. If a negative outcome occurs as a result of following AI-generated advice or decisions, it is not sufficient to say, &#x27;the AI told us to do it&#x27;. AI systems do not choose goals, deploy themselves or bear the costs of failure. Humans and organisations do. An AI system is a tool and like any other tool, responsibility for its use rests with the people who decide to rely on it.

      Yeah but did they account for capitalism when creating those rules?

        my sense is the the historical pendulum of capital-labor is starting to head back from the extreme

        eg. &quot;oligarch&quot; is used more frequently by more people
