They’re outsourcing the logic to the AI provider, so they can pass the buck and proclaim innocence - in some cases it’s even likely true.

In California, one such lawsuit was allowed to continhe by a judge. Proclaming innocence doesn’t work when we have all known about AI racial bias and hallucinations for many years, we can reasonably show that they in all likelihood did know the same way a musician can prove the thief heard their song in a copyright case.

Glad to see that, but a single example does not a reliable precedent make — particularly under the current grip of the judicial system by conservatives.

AI being new means you won’t have precedent going back 20 years, mate. As I mentioned there is already precedent for proving the defendant was aware of the problematic behavior or risks due to such information being publicly available and commonly discussed.
Even if what you say is true and a bunch of conservative trump appointee hacks are fucking the judicial process up: you can’t win them all and there are metric assloads of these cases.
