Episode notes

This chapter examines the urgent need for establishing liability for AI developers to create safer technologies. It discusses various examples of harm caused by AI, such as misleading chatbots and deepfake scams, and draws parallels to historical regulatory debates. Emphasizing the importance of proactive legal frameworks, the chapter advocates for a balanced approach to consumer protection while encouraging innovation in the tech industry.

AI is moving fast. And as companies race to rollout newer, more capable models–with little regard for safety–the downstream risks of those models become harder and harder to counter. On this week’s episode of Your Undivided Attention, CHT’s policy director Casey Mock comes on the show to discuss a new legal framework to incentivize better AI, one that holds AI companies liable for the harms of their products.
