00:00How many of you have accepted terms and conditions online that you didn't read?

00:06We have no choice.

00:07I've done books on data protection. I never read the terms and conditions.

00:10We have no choice.

00:10And so, following on from what Maymay was saying, there is this question, who should be responsible?

00:15The developer? The deployer?

00:17And then both those groups have decided, actually, it would be great if the users could be responsible.

00:22And so that's why, if you use Chachapiti, it now has a little disclaimer saying Chachapiti makes mistakes,

00:26which is lawyer speak for, don't blame us if things go wrong, that's on you.

00:31And so one of the risks is that the lawyers will say, okay, you manage risk by pushing it onto the user

00:37and saying, if you rely on this system that we know you're going to rely on, don't blame us.

00:43And it's only in regulated areas like banks, like medicine, that I think you will see regulators stepping in

00:50because elsewhere it's going to be very, very hard to micromanage those kind of contracts.
