The American Prospect argues that lawmakers are repeating the pattern of 9-11 (PATRIOT Act) and 2008 financial crisis (bank bailouts)—hasty, poorly understood legislation that benefits the actors creating the panic. Former FTC Chair Lina Khan indicated companies are already liable for creating dangerous products; states could hold AI firms criminally liable without new federal law.
