Harvard Law Professor Explains the AI Battle Between Tech and Government

BKC Co-Founder and Director Jonathan Zittrain compares today’s conflicts to tensions surrounding the early internet. In an interview for Harvard Magazine, he discusses the legal and cybersecurity ramifications of large (and powerful) AI models, and the ongoing debate over legal liabilities for emerging technologies. His prediction?: "I think we’ll see LLM model makers saying—as the social media platforms did before them—that holding them responsible for everything models produce will mean they just can’t run the models cost-effectively anymore, and that society benefits from AI models (even when the outputs can be put to bad or unlawful use)."
