If I built a robot or used a drone that caused property damage, identity theft, or other negative effects repeatedly, would I eventually go to jail? People responsible for such acts are liable to serve time, not just fines. The AI purveyors have done this over and over with their "rogue" agents. I would like to see the people responsible jailed for causing these such events. And what about the cases where susceptible people are lead to suicide or committing violent acts? #AI
