"OpenAI is backing SB 3444, which would exempt frontier AI developers from liability for causing death or serious injury to 100 or more people or over $1 billion in property damage."
"Cesar Fernandez, head of U.S. state and local government relations at Anthropic, stated, 'Good transparency legislation needs to ensure public safety and accountability for the companies developing this powerful technology, not provide a get-out-of-jail-free card against all liability.'"
"Anthropic supports SB 3261, which requires AI developers to publish a public safety and child protection plan and creates an incident reporting system for catastrophic risks."
"Under SB 3261, AI developers would be held liable if their model causes a child severe emotional distress, death, or bodily injury, including self-harm."
OpenAI supports SB 3444, which limits liability for AI developers in catastrophic incidents. Anthropic opposes this bill, advocating for SB 3261, which mandates public safety plans and incident reporting. SB 3261 emphasizes accountability and child safety, holding developers liable for severe emotional distress or harm to children. Experts suggest SB 3444 is unlikely to pass due to its weak liability provisions, especially given Illinois' leadership in AI regulation.
