This goes all the way back to Old France
There was a sow in Falaise in northern France that killed a kid in 1386. The town dressed the pig in a bonnet and hanged it after sentencing the pig itself and not its owner
But… maybe that’s just medieval nonsense
- californical 21d agoI mean I think there’s a similar level of judgement required. Was the owner negligent in controlling their pig/dog/AI? Was anyone else negligent along the way? For example if the pig was just a normal pig, the owner cared for them normally, and there was a freak accident where the pig escaped and happened to kill a kid? Obviously nobody at fault. If you have a dog with a history of violence and let it walk around off-leash with you around town, and it kills a kid? Absolutely the dog owner was negligent and should be charged. Did you buy an AI sold to you as secure and the provider implies that it’s in a sandbox? Provider is on the hook for the damage.
