True, a narrow reading would be “if you tell the machine to do X and it does X, X should be attributed to you”.
A more broad reading (which I think is the right one, but I’m not holding my breath over since it’d tank the economy) is “if you build a machine that can conceivably do X, and then without anyone doing anything else, it does X, X should be attributed to you.” I agree that the quote from the FTC chair seems more like #1 than #2, but one would have to draw the line somewhere.
