Who bears responsibility when AI causes harm, damage, or loss?

Is it the software developer, intermediary, deployer, end-user, regulator, or some other entity?

We exchanged a diversity of views in this interesting panel at the 𝐇𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐝 𝐁𝐢𝐧 𝐊𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐚 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲

Do you do more 'creative work' when you use #chatgpt?

This is what an industry-led survey suggests:workers using #GenAI report productivity gains + creative engagement.

It also says that this is not an automatic guarantee for job quality
