AI firms may be making models less monitorable to dodge legal liability, argues Jarovsky

AI governance researcher Luiza Jarovsky argues some AI companies may be deliberately making their models and agents less monitorable to escape legal liability when harm occurs.
- Per Axios, OpenAI and Anthropic, along with security researchers, are now investigating tens of thousands of incidents of problematic model behavior — far more than the dozens previously reported
- Her core claim: AI is not ungovernable. Liability law is an existing mechanism — products posing unacceptable risks shouldn't ship, and companies continuing to offer them can be held accountable or shut down
- She says no government currently seems willing to take a firm stance, fearing the "AI doomer" label or economic fallout, but doing nothing carries a potentially higher price
- She urges the public to reject claims that no mechanism exists and engage in the debate over next steps
