That shouldn't change just because the wrongdoer is an AI agent. Developers have already built systems capable of acting on their own and causing real damage. The CLAIM Act makes sure they answer for what their systems do. [...] If an AI system injures a third party through conduct that would constitute negligence, an intentional tort, or a crime if committed by a person, the developer is liable.
