I hope it also depends on a reasonable expectation of oversight and access controls when you're working in high-risk fields. Finance engineers should probably be expected to be familiar with laws concerning what they do.

The relevant deadly chemotherapy example: https://youtu.be/Ap0orGCiou8
I don't see you being jailed for your random GitHub project being sloppy. However, if your closed source software that you advertise as 100% safe and secure gets used by a chemotherapy clinic, and then it comes out to be downright sloppy after killing 20 patients you may be accused of fraud. Anyway, not a lawyer so take it with a grain of salt.
