AI is not a silent tool. It answers the questions, picks the hour, chooses the place, and walks someone through the plan. When a product participates in a crime like that, the company that built it is not a bystander. A chatbot cannot be charged, but the corporation that designed it, trained it, and collected the subscription can.
