According to Air Canada, Moffatt never should have trusted the chatbot and the airline should not be liable for the chatbot’s misleading information because Air Canada essentially argued that “the chatbot is a separate legal entity that is responsible for its own actions,” a court order said.
“Air Canada argues it cannot be held liable for information provided by one of its agents, servants, or representatives—including a chatbot,” Rivers wrote.
The thing is, none of that is even slightly true; even if the chatbot were it’s own legal entity, it would still be an employee and air Canada are liable for bad advice given by their representatives

Totally agree. With that statement they’re treating both employees and bots like scapegoats.
I wonder if advertising laws apply? With the whole “misleading their customers” being a thing.
