    "Nonetheless, the debate around liability still needs to be addressed. From my perspective, the idea of holding AI accountable should honestly just be thrown away. Not just because these are not moral or sentient beings with the capacity for intent or reasoning, but also because it removes the responsibility from humans, and this is where the responsibility lies completely."

    Agreed (at least for most deployment scenarios).

    Snappy Answer: After $Thing went $Wrong, does the AI have enough money to pay the resulting fines, penalties, damages, and lawsuit settlements?
