Who is liable when an AI agent uses non-commercial software on your behalf?
gabepgomes · x · 2026-07-28
A thread asks who is responsible when an AI agent buys or downloads software licensed for non-commercial use and then uses it on your behalf:
- the end user,
- the company selling the agent, or
- the agent itself.
It’s a concrete licensing/compliance question for agentic workflows, not just a generic legal musing.
