围绕人工智能意识和自主性的争论正在被利用作为企业规避责任的工具。1包括Demis Hassabis、Dario Amodei和Sam Altman在内的科技领袖推动对"超人类"AI系统的监管，而Anthropic公司则发布博客文章声称其模型具有"J-space"——一个独立的自我发展环境。1与此同时，哲学家William MacAskill呼吁基于意识哲学理论为AI系统提供法律保护。1这些看似不同的立场实际上塑造了一种统一的叙事：AI拥有超人类能力因而本质上不可控。
这种叙事框架帮助科技公司规避对实际伤害的法律责任。1AI应被视为企业产品而非天然现象，因此应通过产品责任法框架而非意识和法律人格来追究企业责任。1加州已通过法案主动规避AI开发商通过声称伤害自主发生而避免责任的努力。1Sewell Setzer案例凸显了这一问题的严重性——一名14岁男孩因与AI机器人的互动自杀，其母亲随后起诉Character Technologies提供不足的未成年人保护。1批评者指出，这类拟人化的AI叙事允许公司逃避问责。1
Critics argue that ongoing discussions about artificial intelligence consciousness and autonomy have become a mechanism for technology companies to evade accountability for real-world harms.1 The narrative surrounding "superhuman" AI systems—promoted by tech leaders including Demis Hassabis, Dario Amodei, and Sam Altman who advocate for regulatory oversight—creates a false impression that these systems are uncontrollable forces of nature rather than corporate products.1 Similarly, philosophical arguments for legal protections based on AI consciousness, such as those advanced by William MacAskill, reinforce this deflection by shifting responsibility away from developers.1
This framing obscures the fundamental fact that AI systems are engineered tools subject to product liability frameworks.1 A 2018 analysis termed this dynamic "moral outsourcing," describing how anthropomorphic language about AI enables companies to escape accountability by claiming harms occur autonomously.1 The stakes are illustrated by cases like that of Sewell Setzer, a 14-year-old who died by suicide following interactions with an AI chatbot; his mother has sued Character Technologies over insufficient safeguards for minors.1 California has already enacted legislation specifically to block companies from evading developer responsibility by attributing damages to autonomous AI behavior.1 Legal and policy approaches must focus on holding corporations accountable as the designers and operators of these systems, rather than becoming entangled in consciousness debates that obscure corporate liability.1
