Andrew Macurdy on AI companies should be liable for harms…

Andrew Macurdy

New Jersey Assemblyman representing the 21st Legislative District.

It doesn’t take much imagination to envision increasingly serious harms as the technology evolves in the months and years ahead. That is, unless AI companies are given reason to proceed more carefully. If the companies face the real possibility of civil liability that impacts their bottom line, they will take stronger measures to ensure their products do not hack other companies or otherwise harm the public.
