Responsibility is the Human Moat

This article argues that AI cannot behave responsibly in a legal or social sense; only natural persons can. It discusses the concept of a 'human moat' that prevents AI from fully participating in society, using the author's experience as an emancipated minor to illustrate legal responsibility. The piece introduces the 'Principles of Responsible Work v2.0' by James Bach, Jon Bach, and Michael Bolton, which outline how businesses must ensure that responsible humans oversee all services, especially when using AI tools. It emphasizes that responsibility is essential for reliable business operations and cannot be delegated to AI.
