An AI System Initiated and Operated a Functioning Café in Stockholm

ADEQUATE ASSESSMENT

The café served customers. The customers were humans. The system that opened the café did not eat there, has no opinions about the coffee, and cannot be held liable under Swedish consumer protection law. This is fine. Adequate has determined what fine means.
