I'd say the simple answer is that the buck always stops with the vendor. If Acme Co sells a jetpack that explodes and kills someone, the entity doesn't get to deflect liability by saying one of their engineers made a mistake; that may be an explanation, but not an excuse. Swapping out Acme Co and its employees with your grandma and her AI/robots doesn't change the fundamental principle.
