the first 'ai disaster' will be a corp shirking responsibility by blaming their unchecked automatic bureaucratic processes on ai. Look no further at what HERTZ did sending out automated arrest warrants for erroneous causes, leading to dangerous confrontations with armed police. Luckily no one was killed, but innocent law abiding people were very traumatized.

This was without 'ai' but the blame was nearly close, "oops automated process did it!"

The 'artificial intelligence' has been here (starts with B). Kafka wrote about it comically.

Air canada already unsuccessfully argued that their chatbot was autonomous and so they weren't liable for incorrect advice it gave.
B is for Bureaucracy.
