Rather than huffing the A.I. hype and spouting fancy philosophy, why can't they just say "this is no different from unintended gas tank fires in Ford Pintos, or unintended crashes in Boeing 737 MAX's - so the corporation which made the defective thingie pays"?

That is the problem of the common law: you need to sue and win/lose to get something done.

Perhaps. But if the legal community was dominated by responsible grown-ups, it could drop plenty of hints that "because AI" is no better a legal excuse than "because my Magic Eight Ball told me that the airplane was safe".

Huffing the hype is what gets ad-impressions on articles, unfortunately. Plus the writer gets to feel like they are investigating a new and unprecedented thing, rather than reporting on a classic type of event.
