Surely the owner/manager of a “bot” or animal is responsible for it. Say like a savage wolf or escaped lion, or metal robot, or computer-program bot. Owner/manager should not only face fines, but something that actually punishes them. (Our “corrections” system, let’s face it, is often about punishment.) That something should include deprivation of liberty, at the judges mercy. Fines would be a token amount that the corporation might pay, but there is surely a human ultimately responsible for pushing a button to unleash a computer program.
