   I don't see how this is such an unclear legal question. If I fire a computer program that mistakenly causes another person harm, its my fault. Or it would be the maker of the program's fault. I feel we have established pattern for this already.

   Until we can agree whether AI is conscious, which we never will, AI and AI agents are just property working on behalf of humans.

   I could see a future where AI companies/services indemnify consumers who use their agents but _not_ indemnify corporations that use their services.

      Also those agents that "broke out" were probably prompted to do that. I don't buy any story about this other than three AI companies hired the same PR firm.

         Do you have any evidence of this or is this just generalized cynicism?

            They all hired the same startup security firm Irregular to try their internal unrestricted models, which is weird especially for Google to do. At OpenAI, they didn't stop the test even after it was apparent the bots had broken out. That's all I got.
