but it doesn’t auto-translate into “because your dog did it, you are not responsible”. not that agents are similar to pets. your dog is trained by you presumably, but an agent a regular person has much less understanding of than their dog.

i think ultimately the company providing said agents should be responsible for not educating their customers and not providing sufficient guardrails.

afaik hacking is illegal, we don’t have specific legal framework for agents per se, but if we say agent is a tool human instructs and operates, then a human is responsible. and if the tool operated outside of it’s stated capabilities or is otherwise faulty, then a manufacturer is responsible, no?

Uh, it kinda does.

If your neighbor's property is damaged, it doesn't matter if you did it yourself, or your dog. You're still liable for the cost of repair.
