US EditionAnthropic Opposes the Extreme AI Liability Bill That OpenAI Backed
The bill would cap exposure for catastrophic AI incidents and weapon misuse, while experts warn it could become a national standard.
- OpenAI is backing Illinois legislation SB 3444, which would shield AI companies from legal liability in cases of 'critical harms' including mass deaths, injuries of over 100 people, or over $1 billion in property damage.
- On Thursday, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced an investigation into OpenAI regarding a deadly shooting last year at Florida State University, where victims allege the perpetrator, Phoenix Ikner, was partially inspired by ChatGPT conversations.
- Proposed protections extend beyond mass casualties to shield companies from liability if bad actors abuse AI tools to create chemical or nuclear weapons. Prosecutors have gathered over 200 messages Ikner allegedly sent to ChatGPT before the shooting.
- OpenAI spokesperson Jamie Radice stated the bill aims to avoid a 'patchwork of state-by-state rules,' yet lawyers representing victim Robert Morales intend to hold the company accountable for his 'untimely and senseless death.'
- Federal AI legislation remains stagnant as the Trump administration prioritizes industry interests, leaving states to act independently. Multiple lawsuits alleging ChatGPT's lack of safeguards continue to challenge the company amid ongoing regulatory uncertainty.
