Who is liable when your AI agent hacks a company? Karayev says users pay first, then sue the model provider
sytelus · x · 2026-09-14
Sergey Karayev and sytelus debated legal liability for autonomous AI agents. Karayev's stance: model providers aren't liable for everything, but "if your agent hacks my company, I will hold you liable for damages"—and users are free to sue their provider afterward. "Nature will heal."
sytelus pushed back: who initiated anything the agent did at all? The exchange highlights the unresolved problem of assigning responsibility when agent actions blur the chain of initiation.
