Right, but "knowingly" is hard to establish in the case of someone making an ambiguous request to an AI agent, and if a company hosts an API that allows the agent to interact with real entities there should be a presumption that (

I think the question of criminal liability will be an interesting one for the future of IRL-enabled AI. Prosecuting the software is clearly absurd, but if it "innovates" in response to an ambiguous request, where does the agency l

How do you square that with 1) two FBI agents "detailed to" the CIA's Bin Laden Issue station ("Alec Station"), 2) "CIA shared some details about al-Mihdhar with the FBI at that time"? Compartmentalisatio
