      And someone created the AI programming too.

      Then someone trained that AI.

      It didn’t just come out of the aether, there’s a manual on how to do it.

        Yes, but in your previous example you person specifically created a machine to stab a specific person.

        Example would be apt, if you created a program that generates programming for industrial machines to insert things in to stuff and then you uploaded a generated program without checking the code and it stabbed some random guy.

              The liability of industrial machines is actually quite apt.

              If you design a machine that kills someone during reasonable use. You are liable.

              Aircraft engineers have a 25 year liability on their work. A mistake they might make could kill hundreds.

              There is always a human responsible for the actions of a machine. Even unintended results have liability.

              If you upload a program to a machine and someone dies as a result you’re in hot water.

              Moving away from life and death, unintended copyright infringement by a machine hasn’t been tested. But it’s likely it will be ruled that at least some of the builders of that machine are responsible.

              AI “self-driving” cars are getting away with it by only offering an assist to driving. Keeping the driver responsible. But that’s possible because you need a license to drive a car in the first place.

              AI images like this are the equivalent of a fully self driving car. You set the destination, it drives you there. The liability falls on the process of driving, or the process of creating. The machine doing that means designers are then liable.
