Doesn’t that go without saying? It’s AI. It does not have ethics.

A more poetic S-1 might have asked whether this unit has a soul.

Being some form of "intelligence" may mean for some people to have ethics, I suppose.

It'd be more correct of course to say that nearly all non-trivial software will have bugs. Not all software has bugs. I think it's a distinction worth making only after considering the number of encounters I've had where someone takes "all software has bugs" as a literal, universal guarantee.

And with enough outrage every bug can be viewed as an intentional effort to discriminate. Probably just lawyer speak to be prepared for the next wave ouf outrage.
