Can’t gross negligence or indifference to consequences lead to a felony?

Mens rea requirements are per crime and can vary wildly. Its difference between murder and manslaughter. The CFAA requires knowingly which is tough to prove.

i dont think any of these cases meet the bar of gross negligence, which is a pretty high bar. it requires proving a "conscious and reckless disregard".

which, again, sandboxes and guardrails and such would make a gross negligence argument unconvincing.

AI corps rely on willful distortions of intent in laws to get away with moral crimes all the time.

Edit: changed labs to corps because it’s time to stop pretending these are places of science.
