New Mexico Department of Justice on AI companies should be liable for harms…

New Mexico Department of Justice

State justice department led by New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez, responsible for protecting New Mexicans and enforcing state law.

The bill requires the largest AI developers to assess and disclose the catastrophic risks their models pose. A developer’s own public safety promises become legally enforceable, so a company can’t quietly walk back a commitment once a model crosses the danger line it named. [...] New Mexico can recover its own costs of responding to an incident, and the Attorney General can sue on behalf of New Mexicans harmed by one.
