Jensen Huang says doomsday AI rhetoric is a PR ploy to dodge product liability laws
mkheck · x · 2026-09-21
Jensen Huang told CBS News that executives like Dario Amodei and Sam Altman promote doomsday scenarios to escape existing legal liabilities — lobbying for exemptions from product liability, contract enforcement, and unauthorized access laws rather than stricter oversight. He argues existing laws already cover computer misuse and software damage, and that existential fear is a deliberate PR tactic. Quoting commenter mkheck: AI is the only tech in history where providers explicitly disclaim all liability even when users follow their own specs.
