Expert opinions on Law

Specifically my proposal is when an AI autonomously chooses to perform an illegal action the law should hold the AI companies responsible as if they did it intentionally.

It’s a very thorny area. It’s uncharted territory. There’s a good argument to be made on either side.

I just don’t think the developer is in a position to know exactly how their product is being used.

Such a ruling close to Election Day would open a huge opportunity for abuse during a period where harm has outsized impact. Campaigns will use this technology to target voters in deceptive ways.

We need to pause all of the research on this, we need to pause all of the application of AI and just sit down and have a proper think about where this is going, where we want it to go, and how we want it to happen and how we want it to be regulated. ...

AI isn’t going away. Barring unprecedented global government coordination, it isn’t even slowing down. The only real decision is whether to centralize power, or disperse it. Do you fear the technology? Or a small number of people controlling the te...

The United States totally rejects any attempt to construct a globalist scheme of control for the artificial intelligence being spoken of so much now – hereinafter officially called super intelligence.

Across the country, Big Tech companies like Flock Safety have built a mass surveillance system to harvest Americans’ private and personal data without their consent. AI-powered cameras are keeping track of our every move and weaponizing this data aga...

This has effectively given police a very long leash to experiment with these technologies. And now we're in a tipping point situation where it's about to be expanded all over the country, and there's a real necessity for those legal frameworks to be ...

We ask them to work with the communities using this technology to decide what rules should govern it and not to spread misinformation or ban a critical public safety tool outright that is helping to make communities safer.

The use of live facial recognition in our public spaces is an extraordinary expansion of state power that currently exists in a legal vacuum. We are not Luddites on these Benches; we recognise the utility of technology, but we must ensure that live f...

I have grave concerns that banning technology until it is legislated will choke innovation, it will drive genuine use cases away, and as technology is always developing, are we not in danger of ‘tomorrow never comes’ when it comes to legislation keep...

Noting concerns regarding the possibility of feedback loops, and the self-fulfilling prophecy of directing police attention to specific areas or individuals on the basis of historical data that may perpetuate patterns of over-policing, Member States ...

Artificial intelligence, digital forensics, and geospatial intelligence are transforming how we anticipate threats and conduct investigations.

Society may eventually find it useful to create a category of limited artificial legal personality without deciding that the entities enjoying it possess subjective experience. [...] Corporations already demonstrate that legal persons can enjoy only ...

There is a reasonable chance, however, that if the vision for AI agents comes to pass, then for our markets and legal accountability regimes to function effectively, agents will have to have the capacity to sue and be sued directly. This is the defin...

An AI agent is not a legal person, and in our law liability for this type of incident always sits with a person or a company. The liability has to be traced back to the intent of a person or a company that created or directed the agent.

The bills include the AI OVERWATCH Act, the Chip Security Act, and the MATCH Act. Anthropic supports all three bills and is ending its membership in ITI over the group's efforts to block them from passing.

Our membership is aligned that these bills undermine the American tech stack, and as our Thursday letter demonstrates, there is widespread support for this position across the technology and broader business sectors.

Instead we want to be in a situation where if both sides want a deal, then they can prove to each other that they’re complying with the deal. You want to be in a situation where the Chinese government at least knows where all the Chinese chips are, a...

Location verification—which would allow regulators to determine where AI chips are located—has emerged as a key proposal to strengthen export control enforcement efforts. [...] We recommend that location verification be required only for data center ...

About 1,400 citizens applied, and we randomly selected 200 of them to participate as members of the evaluation panel. [...] Ultimately, 185 citizens participated.

Generative AI has made it easier than ever to create convincing deepfakes and other deceptive content, and we’re already seeing these tactics used to influence America’s elections. Meta, headquartered in my district, has rolled back key safeguards ov...

I don't believe AI in ads is a problem. The issue is restating false information.

AI is driving power asymmetries between countries, governments, corporations, and individuals. Between countries, control over key parts of the AI value chain—frontier models, advanced chips and data centers—by a few companies creates dependency risk...

These workstreams build on existing Government actions including already legislated criminal offences to ban the sharing of non-consensual deepfake sexually explicit material, and work to ban nudify apps.

A handful of bills introduced this year seek to categorically ban “deepfakes.” In other words, these bills would make it unlawful to create or share AI-generated content depicting someone saying or doing something that the person did not in reality s...

Thanks to copyright restrictions that criminalize modifying apps without permission, there is no legal way for either drivers or riders to build comparison-shopping dashboards that bid out the same worker or job to multiple apps and choose from the c...

Here in Washington and elsewhere, policymakers are taking steps, in the name of competition, that would force Apple to let apps onto iPhone that circumvent the App Store through a process called sideloading. That means data-hungry companies would be ...
