A fundamental principle that ought to be solidly established, but that every AI vendor is desperately hoping we’ll scrap entirely, is that •a company should be responsible for its decisions regardless of how it makes them•:
- Even if the decision is made by one individual at the company
- Even if the decision is delegated to a third party
- Even if the decision is algorithmic
- Even if the decision is made by an AI https://eigenmagic.net/@NewtonMark/113421248799173867
I would be curious to hear from •actual lawyers• about the status of this principle in the law pre-gen-AI. Under what circumstances can a company say, “Oops, one bad apple! Not our fault!” or “Don’t sue us, sue the people we hired?”
@inthehands The people who are best versed in corporate law are corporate lawyers, so the path of least resistance would be to flip that question over.
Alternately, Hamline is right down & acoss the freeway from you, and there are some pretty amazing places for cinnamon rolls in between.
Would love.love.love to see this at Minnebar.
