Also libel (if the LLM makes up facts about someone), copyright (if it reproduces content), privacy (if some of the data it trained on wasn't intended to be public), etc.
And on top of that, there are plenty of novel things that may or may not be illegal. If it can be tricked into making a pro-Nazi statement, is it violating German law? What if it offers medical or legal advice without a license?
It's a pretty big legal minefield, and different jurisdictions have different laws and standards, so it makes sense to limit your exposure.
That's the cost of being first to market on something like this. You can't both play it safe and lead the pack.
Yeah let’s move fast and break stuff! Forget those inconvenient local laws and culture!
This attitude is what is leading to the regulation and probable over regulation due to backlash of ‘big tech’.
Those days are over.
Just like any other sector doesn’t get to ignore laws.
Unregulated US social media hit our democracies like a hurricane.
The body politik doesn’t seem to be of a mind to let them do the same with AI.
