So AI practitioners would also be held to the same standards and be subject to the same consequences as human doctors then, right? Obviously not. So this means a few lines of code will get all the benefits of being a practitioner and bear none of the responsibilities. What could possibly go wrong? Oh right, tons of people will die.
This algo told me to over charge rent, I am not price fixing...
This is the new business tactic to extract while avoiding liability.
There is no recourse any person has here either. And the government is too corrupt to protect the taxpayers.
We are so fucked.

I don't have much hope with the current administration.
I have zero hope this will lead to anything beyond crimincals settling for pennies, and being provided with a regulatory regime to continue their crime with proper goverment approvals.
I think that actually sums up one of the administration’s plans in general, to take hold of lawless industries and use them to get rich at everyone else’s expense. Their ridiculous plans for crypto have pretty much the same motive.
