Not Local Courts - Caveat Civis

 Interesting space to watch:

On June 1, 2026, the Florida Attorney General sought to make Sam Altman personally liable for ChatGPT's aiding and abetting mass shooters.

On 12th June, 20206, a local court in Munich, Germany, held Google personally liable for incorrect answers generated by its "AI Overview" search result.

What is interesting is not that the corporate veil is being lifted, but that it is being lifted, not by Supreme Courts or governments, but by local courts.

Why is that interesting?
Because local courts can be overruled.
Because as a citizen, I want accountability to be enforced by elected governments, not local courts.

It is interesting that no government is talking about making AI responsible for AI slop, AI misinformation, and even AI abetted crimes.

The EU (the ONLY geography to have an AI liability law) has, for now "postponed" the implementation of its AI liability law - from August 2026 to August 2028 and high-risk obligations to Dec 2027.

In law, Caveat Emptor (let the buyer beware) is one of the first maxims we learn. Latin for "Let the citizen beware" is Caveat Civis. Just Saying.
