[alicebot-aiethics] How should we respond to this?

[Ing. Pedro E. Colla]

In one paragraph of the note the guy seems to be in doubt if it's legal or
not whatever
the bot did with his daughter's information.

I wonder what is the legal system that applies to such scenario.

It's unlikely at this stage of the technology for any legal issue to be of
the penal
lawdom, it is likely to be on the civil lawdom. Which has a 70% probability
of being
local or state and 30% of being nation level on most western societies.

So, the framework to apply would be the one of the botmaster where the
intelligence
of the "offending" parts were created? the framework of the "daughter" were
the "evil
unlawful" act were perpetrated? or the framework of where the server is
which is the
physical location where the offense were committed?

In the case of the US it might fall into the umbrella of a federal case, but
let's assume
for the moment it's a canadian botmaster, a mexican daughter on a US
ISP......?

Even if the case in considered based on ethics rather than law it could be
extended
to a case where an US daughter uses a bot created by a chinese botmaster
being
run on an hipotetical middle-east based ISP; what ethics system will be
used?

Beyond a source to think in the legal paradox this consideration has a
practical
corner; if you put disclaimers..... what legal/ethical system you'll address
with them?
