Section 230 may not shield AI companies from liability, expert argues

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Legal scholar Gary Marcus argues that Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act may not shield AI companies from liability for harms caused by their products. He references a recent German ruling that held a company liable for its chatbot's actions. Marcus contrasts this with Sam Altman's past statements suggesting AI developers should not have full immunity, noting OpenAI's subsequent support for a bill that would shield AI labs from certain liabilities.
