Large language models (LLMs) are transforming how we create and consume information, but they also present a growing challenge: How responsible should we hold these powerful AI systems for generating false or misleading content?
Join us for a deep dive into the complexities of LLM liability for misinformation. We’ll explore whether current legal frameworks—particularly Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act—are equipped to handle AI-generated falsehoods and grapple with critical implications for the First Amendment, including the proper balance between protecting free speech and combating the spread of AI-driven misinformation.
Expect a lively debate as experts unpack these pressing questions: Should developers be held accountable for an LLM’s “hallucinations”? Does AI-generated content qualify for the same protections as human speech? What does this mean for the future of information integrity?
The event will also feature a 10-minute “fireside chat” exploring how platform liability intersects with the way content is recommended, amplified, and sometimes misused. Part policy talk and part creator insight, this segment will show how debates in Congress connect to what shows up on your screen.
