But exposing the tool makers or providers to liability for intentional bad acts that others set out to do is a cure worse than the disease.

Statement relation comments

AI Verified In context, the source is opposing a bill that would allow lawsuits against AI companies when conduct involves generative AI, and the quoted line specifically argues that holding AI tool makers/providers liable for others’ intentional misuse is "a cure worse than the disease." That is directly relevant to the issue of whether AI companies should bear liability for harms from deployed models, and it makes opposition substantially more likely.

AI Verified Against — in the source article opposing a bill that would expose “AI companies” to lawsuits, the author says making “tool makers or providers” liable for bad acts by others is “a cure worse than the disease,” which strongly implies opposition to holding AI companies liable for harms caused by deployed models, especially when those harms come from user misuse.
