You have to be responsible for AI agent usage. Any other model doesn't work because then you can always argue "I didn't do it, my agent did" for anything.

If I say "I'm thinking of visiting China sometime" and the Meta agent proactively decides to extracts my credit card number from my Meta subscription information, and proceeds to buy a ticket without my knowledge... I feel like at some point I get to blame Meta? Clearly I did not give any sort of consent there.

Conversely, if there's a chat log of me saying "Buy a ticket to China" and then clicking "yes" on an approval prompt showing the full price, ticket dates, etc. then yeah, obviously that one is on me.

Tell that to hugging face V Georgia, Australia, hugging face, etc…. While I agree with your sentiment that is simply not the case at the top.

The problem is, that's just your opinion.

That's not settled law.

Which is why corporations like these don't want to run the risk.
