Intentional or reckless is not a common legal standard of care for companies engaging in highly dangerous activities. [...] They are setting the bar very low here. Being able to prove that you did something intentionally that involves AI is going to be very hard.AI Verified source (2026)

The quote clearly discusses legal liability for AI-related harms and criticizes a rule that would require proving intentional or reckless conduct, saying that standard sets the bar too low and would be hard to prove. That implies support for holding AI companies liable under a broader standard for harms caused by their models.

The quote criticizes an "intentional or reckless" standard as "setting the bar very low" and "very hard" to prove, but it does not directly say AI companies should generally be liable for harms caused by deployed models.

Quote verified via web search (fortune.com returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch, but search results reproduce the exact wording from the cited 17 Apr 2026 Fortune article — the primary source). Anat Lior (Drexel law professor) is confirmed saying "intentional or reckless is not a common legal standard of care for companies engaging in highly dangerous activities," "They are setting the bar very low here," and "Being able to prove that you did something intentionally that involves AI is going to be very hard." Year 2026 correct. She criticizes the Illinois bill for setting too low a liability bar, implying support for stronger liability — consistent with her "for" vote on "AI companies should be liable for harms caused by their deployed models." Author attribution confirmed.
