The author outlines a potential negative consequence of AI liability regulations on the industry:
- Liability punishes generality: Broader model skills require more extensive compliance coverage.
- Narrow models gain advantage: Delivering the same value with fewer capabilities means paying less for liability, making narrower models more profitable.
- AGI attempts suffer: Under these economic pressures, pursuing Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) becomes economically unviable.
