A different future is one where we think carefully about issues of accountability and liability and recognize that the companies and organizations creating these systems should bear some accountability when the systems fail or go awry. We have very well-established product liability law in essentially every country in the world.

Verification History

AI Verified Verified via web search. UVA News URL returned 403, but search snippets and other sources confirm Danks's framing: companies creating AI systems should bear some accountability when systems fail or go awry, citing well-established product liability law worldwide. Vote 'for' "AI companies should be liable for harms caused by their deployed models" directly matches the quote. Year 2026 confirmed. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 21d ago
