That was not my example. The murder machine was someone else.

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.

Lets call it assisting image creation then.

AI owners would love to do that.

Hence the legal battles.
