## Resource

“If a pharmaceutical company decided to market a drug that kills people and then say ‘well, it kills less than 100 people, so we’re not liable,’ we’d look at them and say ‘you’re freaking crazy.’” Internationally renowned security researcher and author of Rewiring Democracy Bruce Schneier joins The Tech Report’s Isaac Pound to discuss AI regulation as OpenAI and Anthropic fight over an Illinois bill which would limit AI companies liability in AI-enabled mass casualty events.
