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

Summary

AI companies may assume they are immune from civil liability, but existing tort laws could still hold them accountable if their models cause harm.

Like because current product liability laws don’t specially refer to AI models, then they can’t be sued when their models cause harm. But there’s no AI-exemption to existing tort laws. If there’s another Hugging Face incident that targets a company that isn’t part of the AI sphere AND that actually causes monetary damage, they’re gonna find out real quick.
