On the one hand... the operator who started the agent is responsible. If you fire a gun into the air, the bullet will probably not land on anybody. It's pretty unpredictable what will happen unless you have perfect data and forecasting. But it's still your fault if it kills someone when it comes back down.

But on the other hand, with so many tech companies pushing their ICs to use AI - and pushing more and more to use agentic tools - I'm generally in agreement that the fault lies more with the employer than the employed. You can't tell someone to use a tool, then punish them when the non-deterministic tool they didn't want to use in the first place misbehaves.

Maybe if we had decades of history showing these tools could be operated safely this would be different. But asking an entire industry to adopt new tools with minimal training and real-life experience, and asking them to adopt them at scale and in production, is not the same as asking them to use DynamoDB instead of RDS.
