""We support approaches like this because they focus on what matters most: Reducing the risk of serious harm from the most advanced AI systems while still allowing this technology to get into the hands of the people and businesses-small and big-of Illinois," said OpenAI spokesperson Jamie Radice in an emailed statement."
"The bill, SB 3444, would shield frontier AI developers from liability for 'critical harms' caused by their frontier models as long as they did not intentionally or recklessly cause such an incident."
"Under its definition of critical harms, the bill lists a few common areas of concern for the AI industry, such as a bad actor using AI to create a chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear weapon."
"If an AI model engages in conduct on its own that, if committed by a human, would constitute a criminal offense and leads to those extreme outcomes, that would also be a critical harm."
OpenAI endorses Illinois bill SB 3444, which protects AI developers from liability for critical harms if they meet certain conditions. The bill defines critical harms as incidents causing significant societal damage, such as death or extensive property loss. It applies to frontier AI models, which require over $100 million in computational costs. OpenAI's support indicates a strategic shift from opposing liability measures to advocating for clearer national standards in AI regulation.
