>"I think if we do the right changes to the Criminal Code, it will change the behaviour of AI companies, because there will be a clear line to accountability,"

Isn't it a judicial issue? How is a chatbot owned and operated by a company materially different than the responsibility of an accident involving an unmanned vehicle or machine owned and operated by a company?

Perhaps because the chatbot is advising the user on how to act in a given situation... and how to circumvent having their chatGPT prompts flagged by the system.
