alt Hacker NewsThe difference between manslaughter and murder has an element of intent. Cybercrime "manslaughter" is probably more treated like negligence and if one can sue for restitution of the costs for cleanup of that negligence.
Negligence would be interesting given the grand claims of capability of AI models from the AI companies and their executives. If they believe the claims, why not much stronger precautions?

The first time it happens you can say it’s negligence. Now that they know it keeps happening and they seemingly aren’t able to stop it but keep doing it. That has to be on them doesn’t it?

Infosec negligence should absolutely be a crime, no matter if you’re a target (who was negligent at protecting people’s data) or an unintentional attacker. The latter could be, eg. an attacker using a company’s poorly protected server as a proxy to launch the actual attack against someone else, doesn’t have to be this fully novel situation with AI agents.
