You are legally responsible for the actions of your agents. It’s in the name agent = acting on someone’s behalf.
Your English is very interesting by the way. You have some obvious grammatical errors in your text yet beautiful use of formal register.

it's a piece of non-deterministic software running on someone's computer
who is responsible for its actions? hardly clear cut
You buy a piece of software, marketed to photographers for photo editing. Nowhere in the manuals or license agreements does it specify anything else. Yet the software also secretly joins a botnet and participates in coordinated attacks.
Question: are you on the hook for cyber-crimes?
I guess you could say that you didn't have a reasonable expectation that a bot could accept a license, but you're on a lot shakier ground there...
You can't sit back and go "lalalala" to some tool (AI, photo software, whatever) doing illegal things when you know about it. But you also aren't on the hook for someone else's secret actions that are unreasonable for you to know about.
IANAL.
