OpenAI backs an Illinois bill shielding AI labs from liability, even for “critical harms” like 100+ deaths or $1B+ in damage, if they published safety reports

The ChatGPT-maker testified in favor of an Illinois bill that would limit when AI labs can be held liable—even in cases where their products cause “critical harm.”
