@GaryMarcus Serious answer: The Public is the insurer of last resort. If after the damage, the corporate entities that caused the problem are bankrupt, the nation might have to step in to help the victims. Which means the public has an interest in preventing that catastrophic harm.

if AI causes catastrophic harm that could reasonably have been foreseen, who should pay for the damages?

The statement 'QED' by @ProfLHunter in response to a discussion about who should pay for damages if AI causes catastrophic harm constitutes public discourse. The conversation addresses a significant public issue related to AI accountability and the role of public and corporate entities in mitigating harm.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement 'QED' (quod erat demonstrandum) is neutral and does not cause harm. It simply indicates that the point has been proven.
  2. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement does not directly promote understanding, empathy, or compassion, but it does not detract from these values either.
  3. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement is part of a constructive dialogue and does not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments. [+1]
  4. Principle 7:
    I will uphold the principles of free speech and use my platform responsibly and with integrity.
    The statement upholds the principles of free speech and uses the platform responsibly and with integrity. [+1]
