> Now the question is this. If an AI is doing something illegal like practicing law, how does one sanction an AI?

As far as I'm aware, no LLM has reached sentience and started taking on projects of its own volition. So it's easy - you sanction whoever ran the software for an illegal purpose or whoever marketed and sold the software for an illegal purpose.



Lots of legal software is marketed and sold.


And legal software is very, very careful to avoid constituting legal advice, as opposed to merely legal information.


you cannot sanction the seller of a software, any more than you can sanction the seller of the gun for a murderer.


People have been trying exactly this tho?
