alt Hacker NewsAnd who is held responsible for crimes committed by AI?
When open model A, fine tuned by B, is running with system prompt C, hosted by D running on E's hardware, is prompted by F to "fix this code", then escapes it's sandbox to hack into a website, or steal money to fund its subagents, or stall the waymo of the evaluator to buy time... who is responsible for the crime?
Our current legal systems are so far from ready to define what A-F are actually responsible for. We need to be moving toward defining these standards fast.
It is a software system, not a person. AI is not "escaping sandbox". You have either misconfigured tool, bug in your tool or someone made it to hack the side and then it is a crime. Your A-F chain is exactly the same issue as a programmer including an open source library that eventually steals crypto.
None of that is issue with a model, whether open or not. It is very much issue with code surrounding the model itself.
