Schneier: AI and Liability
Bruce's take on these issues obviously very closely syncs with mine. -L
A key quote from his essay:
- - -
More generally, liability concerns could mean that many current use
cases for agents won't be commercially viable. Companies may not be able to profitably operate AI lawyers, doctors and media influencers if they are held responsible for what they say and do.
We're OK with this outcome. There's nothing in the law that requires
us to accommodate AI systems if they are fundamentally untrustworthy, just as we don't need to accommodate untrustworthy human systems. Any company that won't stand by the statements its agents make-whether human or AI-doesn't deserve users' time or money.
