Physicist, AI Researcher
[The lawsuits against AI chatbots] could spur concrete guardrails — such as requiring companies to test models for specific harms before deployment. [...] [The cases could break] the taboo that AI must always be unregulated.

Verified. The Axios source URL returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but a web search confirmed the quote from the March 9, 2026 Axios article "Chatbot lawsuits push AI safety fight to the courts": Tegmark said the lawsuits "could spur concrete guardrails — such as requiring companies to test models for specific harms before deployment" and could break "the taboo that AI must always be unregulated." Attribution to Max Tegmark (physicist/AI researcher, Future of Life Institute founder) is correct and the elided bracketed portions are faithful paraphrase markers. Year 2026 is current. The "for" vote on "AI companies should be liable for harms caused by their deployed models" aligns with Tegmark's stated support for mandatory pre-deployment harm testing and regulation.
