AI Blames Users for Harm: Who's Accountable for Grok's Output?

  • AI platforms like X and Grok blame users for harmful content generated by their systems, shifting responsibility.
  • Generative AI actively produces content, unlike social media platforms that merely host user-generated speech.
  • Companies design AI models, training data, and limits, making them responsible for outputs, not just users.
  • Outdated laws like Section 230 don't cover AI-generated content, creating a regulatory gap.
  • This lack of accountability impacts journalism, blurring attribution and risking the spread of harmful AI outputs.

Why It Matters: AI companies avoid responsibility for harmful content generated by their systems, shifting blame to users.
