Given the high costs of AI, isn’t it reasonable to assume that whomever stands to make a profit is equally liable for it’s outcomes?

Sounds great in theory till u realise this is the exact sort of law the big tech companies can afford to pay out that will also be used to completly kill foss ai.

The liability wouldn't be on the development, but the deployment.

Not to worry. I’m not so naive as to think that is how it will actually play out.

I’m sure like most things under capitalism, smaller companies will be liable, but we’ll bail out the big guys!
