Wasn't AI responsible for the US bombing a girl's school? That incident and who or what were responsible is not discussed enough.

Responsible, no (as someone else pointed out). I don't know anything else.

They spent less than two seconds on many targets. Make of that what you will. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI-assisted_targeting_in_the_G...

No. The morons who relied on it were responsible.

I understand what you mean but the phrasing is unfortunate. The people and organizations who use AI are fully responsible for the outcomes of their use of AI.
