Someone get him on the lathe, let's see more CEOs getting held personally liable.
Also, bonus points that this guy can take time away from his busy day of running a company to post on IGN comment threads, really speaks to the important work he's doing.
Man I wish the world worked the way this guy thinks it does. If we’re gonna have this capitalist structure, that should be the point of a CEO. When the BP oil spill happened the head of BP should’ve been executed for his crimes.
Hear me out here, everyone. Let's say we get to a point where AI replaces most of industry, and if we need someone to be held accountable. Why not have people democratically decide on what the AI can and cannot do, and when the AI does something we do not like, we democratically tell the AI not to do that.
What? Just implement a corporate death penalty and have the state seize the corporation's asset if the corporate person does something illegal. Corporations are people, don't they know this?
Besides, when's the last time a CEO was actually held personally liable for anything in the US? It's purely an academic distinction, and I would argue it's probably easier to keep an AI within the confines of the law if governments mandated this to be the case. You program it in, and if you didn't the owner is liable.
