AI error jails innocent grandmother for months in North Dakota fraud case

19. Yeah, going after the AI company would be fruitless.

Whatever you may think about AI, suing that company would be like suing the company cilcerothat manufactured a car for its use in a hit and run. This situation is obviously down to human incompetence, willful violation of this woman's constitutionally protected due process rights, and what appears tohave been deliberate malice in releasing her the way they did. The AI company is in no way responsible for any of those things.

In addition, I'd be absolutely shocked if the tos for that AI is not loaded with dislaimers of responsibility for misuse that the Fargo cops didn't even bother to read before clicking "accept."

"And of course the freaking cops need to get it through their damn heads that AI makes mistakes and not rely on it so much, cause this is far from the first case of this kind of crap!!!"

Yes, and not just cops. Humans in general need to get it through their damn heads that AI makes mistakes. Like those attorneys who got in trouble for filing legal briefs riddled with AI-fabricated "citations."
