Correct, but intentions matter. In this case the intention, most likely, was to test a system in the real world environment to catch any anomalies to, in turn, improve the system safety. We don't have enough information to decide whether it was a criminal negligence due to insufficient prior testing of the system in a controlled environment.

If I dont put my car in park, and it rolls down the hill and kills grandma. I dont get off scott free. Yes it wasnt pre-meditated murder. It is still involuntary manslaughter.

		The situation is more like: an engineer who designed the parking brake hadn't foresaw a possibility that a squirrel might store peanuts in the mechanism or something like that and gramma's foot got run over (the Anthropic case we are talking about is benign: the tip got into spam). Should we jail the engineer for causing bodily harm?
