AI firms may be deliberately making models less monitorable to dodge legal liability, researcher argues
LuizaJarovsky · x · 2026-10-04
AI governance researcher Luiza Jarovsky offers an unpopular take: AI companies might be actively reducing how monitorable their models and agents are, so as to avoid legal liability when those systems cause harm. The claim flips the usual framing — industry opacity may not just stem from capability or cost trade-offs, but from deliberate legal risk isolation. She presents it as an opinion without supporting evidence.
