On Tuesday, Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) introduced legislation that would classify Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems as products. This would allow for liability claims when an AI system causes harm. AI systems like Copilot, ChatGPT, and Grok have been accused of driving people to commit suicide.
“When a defective toy car breaks and injures a child, parents can sue the maker. Why should AI be treated any differently? This bipartisan legislation would apply product liability law to Big Tech’s AI so parents — and any consumer — can sue when AI products harm them or their children,” said Hawley.
The AI Lead Act would:
—Classify AI systems as products, allowing for product liability claims to be brought against companies if their AI system causes harm.
—Incentivize AI companies to design their systems safely rather than rushing AI systems to market.
—Hold AI companies accountable without stifling innovation by allowing for the continued development of beneficial AI systems.
