    I hope for their sakes that these companies are clearing it with their insurance underwriters before publicly confessing to federal crimes. It seems someone has to be liable for those.

        One of the companies that gets hacked is eventually going to get mad and legal about it, though. A court is then going to decide who, if anyone, is liable when someone’s AI performs actions that amount to a crime. Based on their decision, either the business costs of running these types of AI models will rise dramatically, or “the AI did it” will become the ultimate “get out of jail free” card.

          No I absolutely agree with you, I just don’t think they will get away with saying ‘it’s the AI’s fault’ regardless of whoever eventually gets a lawsuit against them. I just don’t. If they use that defence and it does end up working, then I’ve lost all hope in humanity

              Thing is, the victims of the hacks are big companies with money and lawyers, too. Additionally, a legal landscape where hacking is not illegal when done with AI would be much more difficult or even impossible to conduct business in, so the entirety of the business world will have a stake in that legal outcome.
