We polled people in Illinois, asking whether they think AI companies should be exempt from liability, and 90 percent of people oppose it. There's no reason existing AI companies should be facing reduced liability.AI Verified source (2026)

The quote clearly opposes exempting or reducing AI companies' liability: 'There's no reason existing AI companies should be facing reduced liability.' That directly implies support for holding AI companies liable, including for harms caused by their deployed models.

The quote says AI companies should not be "exempt from liability" and that there's "no reason existing AI companies should be facing reduced liability," which clearly supports keeping them liable rather than shielding them.

Verified: WIRED’s April 9, 2026 article "OpenAI Backs Bill That Would Limit Liability for AI-Enabled Mass Deaths or Financial Disasters" contains the exact two-sentence passage and explicitly attributes it to Scott Wisor ("Wisor says") at line 93. I could not directly load the DNYUZ page, but another reliable source contains the quote verbatim and correctly attributes it to Wisor.

Verified via web search. The quote attributed to Scott Wisor (Policy Director at Secure AI Project) is confirmed in coverage of Illinois SB 3444, which would shield frontier AI developers from civil liability for "critical harms." Wisor opposed OpenAI's support for the bill, citing polling that 90% of Illinois residents oppose exempting AI companies from liability. The source URL (dnyuz.com, April 10, 2026) returned 403 to WebFetch but is independently confirmed by WTL Governance, Breitbart, PPC.land, ICO Optics, and Frontierbeat. Year 2026 matches. Vote alignment: Wisor explicitly opposes reducing AI company liability ("There's no reason existing AI companies should be facing reduced liability"), which directly supports a "for" vote on "AI companies should be liable for harms caused by their deployed models."
