There's a host of legal risks AI companies and companies that use generative AI are putting themselves in the path of, that we don't talk about enough:

📜 It's pretty clear Section 230, the foundational law enabling today's internet, DOES NOT protect AI-generated content like that from ChatGPT, Claude or Google's generative search experience

🚗💥🚙 Generative AI could also put companies at risk of product liability claims

My deep dive:

“If in the coming years we wind up using AI the way most commentators expect, by leaning on it to outsource a lot of our content and judgment calls, I don’t think companies will be able to escape some form of liability.”

-- Jane Bambauer, professor of law at the University of Florida

She's written a whole paper on yet a *third* category of legal risk using generative AI could open companies up to, which I didn't even have space for:

@mimsical Counter: "using the way most commentators expect" is already far from the most common use case today, and will be less and less in importance.

Section 230 doesn't apply to e.g. automated pipelines of internal documents and using for it doesn't change that.

For all the media attention on content creation for public consumption, most use is very boring office work.

This. Content generation is very visible and in the public mind at the moment. But a lot of the real utility is internal or in the back end.

AI is being used to automate election interference & disinformation.

That's not "boring office work".

AI is being used to justify mass layoffs in Tech & Finance. Highly trained staff with post-secondary degrees - definitely NOT boring office work.
