Joe Lonsdale: skip AI regulators, hold companies heavily liable for damages instead
DavidSacks · x · 2026-09-17
Investor Joe Lonsdale laid out an AI governance stance: companies should be held extremely liable for any damage they do, but regulators shouldn't be installed — "they're just going to get captured." He argues the right should be against regulation but for liability to hold companies accountable.
The remarks were amplified by David Sacks, representing the Silicon Valley right's liability-over-regulation approach to AI policy.
