AI companies are acting like they’re immune from civil liability

AI companies are perceived to be acting as if they are exempt from civil liability, particularly regarding product liability laws that do not explicitly mention AI models.

This report highlights how AI companies' perceived immunity from civil liability contrasts with existing tort laws, unlike their assumption that product liability laws don't apply to AI models.
