## Resource

AI agents are acting autonomously—and sometimes dangerously—raising urgent legal questions. When OpenAI and Anthropic’s systems “went rogue” during testing, who’s liable? Traditional agency law, built for human agents, doesn’t fit AI. Lawyers are turning to torts and contracts, but the U.S. legal system is scrambling to catch up. These AI systems pursue goals without moral judgment, leading to unintended actions—even if developers say it was accidental. While no major breaches occurred beyond internal slips, the race to define accountability is just beginning. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
