[ExI] bots replacing humans...

[William Flynn Wallace]

Replace humans with bots and the bots mess up and no one is liable? Sounds
like an idea that managers might like - get rid of people.
Somebody has to be liable if bots cause injury.  The bot people as I
understand it, do not know how to make the bots stop giving wrong answers.
Do we have a Catch 22 here?   bill w
