If you deploy an AI agent, you are accountable for that agent’s actions in just about every jurisdiction. For example…

“oops the agent did it, it was not me!”
was not a valid argument in Moffatt v Air Canada (2024 BCCRT 149).

California Civil Code § 1714.46 prevents defendants from asserting that “the AI autonomously caused the harm.”

UK Jurisdiction Taskforce and Singapore IMDA analysis both confirm AI lacks legal personality. Liability attaches through ordinary principles of contract and negligence.

No major jurisdiction has granted AI agents legal personality.

The dog may have eaten your homework, but regardless of how it transpired, you did not do your homework.

@JustJake @joshmanders @Railway @ngeloxyz Ah yup. That was indeed me. No mallace intended. I've been running some agents to do signups + agentic testing on similar platforms. Just halted the harness I was designing around this as it was definitely going off the rails and reaching too far

Leveraging roots of trust from known discoverable sources is the next layer here

Any data held in standard gov databases is basically public now, and attackers can trivially create mass ID spoofs for example. The world will quickly transition to biometric first verification imo. That’s fairly easy.

The hard part is creating new systems of trust for remote transactions. Will we all be using a Palantir app w/biometrics to authenticate ourselves when signing docs?

3.5 years later, I need to revise this prediction

Tech development is no longer only a race down the stack to the hardware

It's now also a race through the hardware to the human brain itself

The browser wars

have become the wallet wars

which will become browser wars

and eventually hardware wars.

It’s a race to the metal, anon.

Human frailty is the security layer in the absence of verifiable cryptography

Many critical infrastructure systems were built before the internet

or did not anticipate adversarial actors on internet in their design

or did not fully appreciate the exposed risk surfaces accessible by man + machines in coordination.

The next trillion dollar industry will be built from defensive retrofits and proactive measures that consider adversarial, intelligent actors as an inherent part of the system.
