Negligent Entrustment—The New Legal Theory About to Hit Mainstream

In Episode 3 of The Vibe Code Crisis, we walk through the legal framework that governs commercial software and explain why AI-generated code structurally breaks all three of its foundational doctrines. We cover the first major lawsuit conditions, the jurisdictional fragmentation between the EU AI Act and emerging tech hubs like Singapore and Dubai, the "negligent entrustment" theory that's about to enter mainstream legal practice, and why the courts that solve attribution first will gain a major competitive advantage.
This is part 3 of a series analyzing the systemic risks of vibe coding. Watch parts 1 and 2 first if you haven't — they cover the energy, insurance, and scenario foundations this episode builds on.
