AI LEAD Act

This bill creates federal product liability rules for artificial intelligence systems. It would let people harmed by an AI product sue the company that built it for faulty design, missing warnings, broken promises about the product, or defects that make it unreasonably dangerous, and in some cases sue the business that uses or modifies it. It would bar contract terms and user terms that waive these rights or unreasonably limit liability. The U.S. Attorney General, state attorneys general, individuals, and groups could bring lawsuits in federal court within 4 years of discovering the harm. Foreign AI developers would have to name a U.S.-based agent with the Attorney General before offering products in the United States.
