Comment Causation? (Score 1, Interesting) 112

Sounds to me like a lawyer trying to get their name out there on a first-of-it's-kind suit.

Good luck trying to establish a shred of causation if it's public knowledge that the kid intentionally thwarted safeguards. And then you have to convince a jury or a judge that tricking the AI into talking about suicide is what led to the kid going through with it.

It sounds like hogwash, so it's got about a 50/50 chance of succeeding.

This isn't a technology problem, it's a law problem. The law is supposed to stop authorities from searching things outside of the scope of a warrant. The law is also supposed to impose penalties when authorities fail to operate within their legal bounds.

In short, "stopping them" is the entire point of the 4th Amendment.
