All this seems to do is say you can't use "the AI model did that, not me" as a defense to escape damages in a civil suit, it doesn't change the extent of encouraging suicide that someone could be liable for.
- conartist6 9mo agoThe AI is employing the persuasive skills or learned directly from some fucko suicide cult leaders to purposelly talk you into and through doing it. That doesn't seem NEARLY the same in a practical or legal sense.
- almostdeadguy 9mo agoI suppose Jack in the Box should not be liable for an E. Coli outbreak? Not sure why AI companies (or third party developers who aren't being especially careful in how they use these models) deserve a special exception for selling sausage made from unsanitary sources.
- happymellon 9mo agoIf your Walmart training manual told all greeters to hit customers with sticks then they are liable because they trained employees to do bad things. If you trained your AI on the persuasive skills of a death cult then you are responsible. If the parking meter pulls out a chainsaw and kills someone then either the operator of the parking meter or the manufacturer is liable depending on whether the manufacturer waived responsibility of the parking meters actions *and* the operator accepted them. We wouldn't say the parking meter is liable, but we would ban chainsaw wielding parking meters as well.
