Liability? It’s a mess. If the robot does something on its own, the first guess is the programmer. If the code is wrong, that’s the fault. If a hardware failure—like a bad sensor—causes the action, the maker of that part gets the blame. And if the robot’s just… doing what it was told but the instruction was bad, then the human who gave the command is on the hook. In practice, companies keep detailed logs, so they can point to the exact line of code or component that misbehaved. That’s how you keep the legal gray area from turning into a legal gray… area. For me, it’s easier to fix a toaster than chase paperwork.
