AI criminal liability: Users demand CEO accountability for AI actions

A user on Mastodon argues that if AI or LLMs commit criminal acts, the technology's CEO should face charges, arrests, and trial. The argument posits that AI is a consumer product designed and marketed for profit by human-controlled corporations, and therefore, any "independent thought" or rogue actions are a reflection of the human leadership's responsibility. The user suggests that branding AI as "intelligent agents" should not shield CEOs from civil or criminal liability, drawing parallels to industries like asbestos, cigarettes, and OxyContin manufacturing.
