No ... there is no need for 'escaped containment', there are no 'agents'.

That's just jargon.

It's just software

We have all the laws we need.

If some company ended up doing some horrible thing, we would not say 'companies software exposed 1 Million identities'.

We would say 'ABC Corp. exposed 1 Million entities'.

There is no 'agent'.

ABC Corp 'did it' ... or the individual in the org 'did it'.

The 'gun' did not 'shoot' the other man; we say 'a man shot another man'.

That's it.

And yes, Dr. Bengio is bit odd with all of this.

Note that we already already apply this principle not only to software, but also to some sentient beings.

If your dog kills someone, you are accused of murder.

[at least, in the jurisdiction where I live]

If your dog gets this treatment, why not your AI?

Too generous. CEO Of $CORP caused millions of innocent people's lives to be damaged

		I'm inclined to want to agree ... but that's not how it works with limited liability corps. At least we have laws for what OpenAI 'does' to others, in whatever form.
