OpenAI Sued for Wrongful Death After ChatGPT 'Groomed' Man to Kill His Mother

I'm not in favor of the death penalty, in no small part because I think the crimes - mainly murder - for which it is applicable are not significantly deterred by the threat of that penalty.
What if we applied it to crimes like failing to disclose product defects that result in deaths? Or for failing to maintain clean and safe production facilities (such as for food and medicine) that result in deaths? I bet the deterrence would be significant.
Good (and long) read on liability and AI. Some of the questions explored:
Are AI models "products" and therefore model developers can be liable for damages (via lawsuits) for harm caused by use of the models?
Is AI not a product, but rather a "service".
Should regulators conduct pre-release safety reviews of AI to create safety and notification requirements? Should developers implement post release "monitoring" and to continuously assess and notify of possible dangers.
Are end users, not the model developers, responsible for harm created to themselves or for harm end users cause to other 3rd parties by the use of AI models? https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/products-liability-for-artificial-intelligence #AI #Liability #Lawsuits #Cybersecurity #LLMs #productliability
