Comment on Dean Ball on the new California AI billparent

An accountant could then use a computer in service of them embezzling a serious amount of money from their employer. Should Apple be held accountable for that?

You joke, as if we didn't do exactly this -- regulate accountants and accounting software. (GAAP, DFARS, SOX, PCI DSS, etc)

And we did the same thing with say, Auto Manufacturers and automobiles (FMVSS and CAFE via NHTSA)

Those regulations don't put Intuit on the hook if my accountant embezzles money through Quickbooks though.
