If a robot kill someone, will it go jail like us humans?

What do you think?

I dunno, is it sentient AI or is it just chatGPT operating a toaster?

Well it already has afaik a driverless Tesla already took a homeless guy out, it was in Dallas iirc. Think it would just get a patch. As AI is not even concious yet allegedly. And if it was sure would go through all the struggles regular humans would.

You can no more punish an ai than you can a toaster.

Are robots and AI human? Nope. So no human rights for them.
Probably just restore to factory default settings.

But what about if we flip it around: What if I kill an NPC in Skyrim? They're AI. If they have human rights does that mean I murdered them? If so then gamers are the largest most bloodthirsty war criminals to ever exist.

I doubt it probably a wipe and reprogram most likely

No. Besides, if it does so, it'll be under a humans command:

How could AI do that? Would it beat you up thru your computer screen?

Typically, with similar situations of automation failure resulting in injury/death, there will be an inquest and the company records will be scrutinised to ascertain their level of safetymeasures etc. any breaches of regulations or failures to take responsible steps to prevent/mitigate danger etc.
There are already fiscal penalties for companies that defy regulations but serious multiple infractions might result in litigation against individual executives ( in regards to their negligence ) or the company liabilities.
