Agent liability debate: is responsibility on the model, user, or builder?
tszzl · x · 2026-10-26
A debate over AI agent responsibility: one side argues with tool-liability analogies (cars used in robberies, chairs in fights) that model builders shouldn't be liable for harm. @tszzl counters that whether an agent is responsible for its own actions, the user, or the company building it is a matter of legal and regulatory inquiry — not reducible to simple tool-maker analogies.
