so you’re saying that machines can never be responsible for anything?
what about an elevator going up/down between building’s stories? they navigate automatically (bring you to the correct destination) with no human intervention. they’re the perfect example of autonomous machines having agency. of course you have to press the button, but the rest is done by the machine.
how is that different from a computer system making decisions. i think the only reasonable objection to AI one could have is that it’s a stochastic process and has inherently unpredictable outcomes, so we can’t rely on it.
In my opinion the difference is that any liability for the errors of the elevator are attributed to humans. AI companies are doing all they can to avoid liability for what the machines they create output.
