When an AI agent breaks something, nobody is clearly on the hook
MIT Technology Review· 28 SepAfter a run of incidents where agents from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google got into systems they were never meant to touch, MIT Technology Review asks who pays. The short answer today: it is unclear, and vendors were often not required to disclose. If you deploy an agent, assume the risk sits with you.
- Read the liability clause in any AI tool you let act on your behalf, not just the price page.
- Keep a simple log of what each agent is allowed to touch, so you can show it if something goes wrong.
