“If a human spokesperson made these false allegations on Google’s behalf, a significant award of punitive damages would be warranted. Google should not have lesser liability because the defamatory statements were published by software that Google created and controls.”
I am sure that google will bring up that it has a disclaimer about how AI can make mistakes. But really, that’s the equivalent of saying “no offense” before you say something offensive.
1.5 million? That’s a rounding error at Google, they’ll still try to evade responsibility but that dollar amount is meaningless to them.
It’s all about setting a precedent.
IMO the precedent needs to be a proportion or percentage based item, not an arbitrary number. Something big enough to massively hurt, like 30% of this or last years’ post tax profits will be fined and Alphabet and all subsidiaries will be deemed ineligible for any tax waivers, deductions, or credits for a number of years to be determined by a jury, no less than 1 no greater than 100.
The precedent that fucking around is going to hurt is what we need set.
It’s also probably in CAD so close to just $1 million
Fiddler, diddler, no biggie right
Gah, beat me to it! It’s impossible to have an original idea on the internet!
