Be that as it may, I wish there were a law on the books holding the AI agent and its operators accountable. Sounds like a massive fucking retail scam to me, and we don't blame the victim when it's a human con artist stealing their money, so it makes no sense to me to blame the victim when it happens digitally.

    In Canada, a court ruled that Air Canada was liable for its AI chatbot. Air Canada's lawyer(s) attempted to argue that the chat bot was a separate entity responsible for itself, an astonished judge said, "lol no" (not an exact quote). https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/air-canada-chatbot-lawsuit-1.7116416

    But that's Canada, and Target is not here (anymore), so...
    Not relevant to the company at hand, but there is some precedence somewhere.
