Carmen N. De La Rosa

I want to ask one more question before I turn it to some of our colleagues.

Carmen N. De La Rosa

The White House task force.

Carmen N. De La Rosa

on superintelligence was established by presidential executive order and is intended to advance the application of existing liability laws

to AI companies while directing the Department of Justice to prioritize enforcement of certain criminal statutes against those who use AI unlawfully.

Carmen N. De La Rosa

The task force held its first meeting yesterday.

Carmen N. De La Rosa

Do you support holding frontier AI developers legally liable when wrongful acts are carried out through their models?

Carmen N. De La Rosa

If so, under what circumstances should the liability rest with the developer rather than the user?

and for building public trust around it.
