Supreme Court Decision on YouTube Could Shape Liability for AI Chatbots
- The US Supreme Court is set to rule on whether YouTube can be sued over its video recommendations to users, which could influence whether AI chatbot companies have legal protection.
- The case tests whether a law shielding tech companies from responsibility for user content applies to algorithmic recommendations.
- Experts say the ruling may take a middle ground, examining the context of potentially harmful AI responses.
- Democratic Senator Ron Wyden said the law should not apply to AI chatbots because they "create content."
- The tech industry wants to keep the law but others argue AI tools should not have the same immunity as search engines.
