Can instruments replace humans also as liable entities? [Legal Metrology]

This issue of the Magazine deals with instruments that replace humans: this is not surprising, from a purely technical perspective, since we know that nowadays instruments have become more and more autonomous and do not need humans to operate them. They have also become more and more pervasive in our lives. Today we do not only use instruments to diagnose illnesses and treat them, but we also rely on them when we organize our days according to weather forecasts, check the speed of our cars, pay for the fuel, etc.
