Yes, which is the grey area. "Can / might do" vs "they trained it to do that explicitly" is, I believe, the grey area - whether or not they're the same thing.

Intent matters for a lot of this - and "intent" is a pretty strong, well discussed legal term.

It's not your intent to use a tool that can cause real world damage, to actually do such damage.

It was your negligence in that case. A different legal concept than intent.

To clarify I was referring to Stuxnet here (and the current wave of critical infrastructure hacks, which now have "haha whoops the matmul went a bit funny!" as plausible deniability).

Intent or negligence.
