AI Safety Newsletter #64: New AGI Definition and Senate Bill Would Establish Liability for AI Harms

Summary

Senators Dick Durbin (D-Ill) and Josh Hawley (R-Mo) introduced the AI LEAD Act, which would create a federal cause of action letting people harmed by AI systems sue AI companies. The act would apply product liability to AI systems, holding companies liable for failing to exercise reasonable care in design or warnings, breaching warranties, or selling defective systems, and would bar contractual limits on that liability.
