Legislators have filed AI ‘duty of care’ liability bills in 10 states. Here’s how to track them.

As of March 12, 2025, 11 AI liability bills had been filed in 10 states.

In recent months there’s been a rising interest in product liability statutes as a way of incentivizing the development of ethical, transparent, and safe AI systems.

The Center for Humane Technology recently released a proposed legal liability framework designed to “encourage and facilitate the responsible development and use of the riskiest AI systems, provide certainty for companies, and promote accountability to individual and business consumers.”

That framework would place liability largely with AI developers—companies like OpenAI and Anthropic who manufacture the AI systems—and not with the thousands of companies that pay to use the AI systems as second-party deployers.

At the Transparency Coalition, we’re advocating for the adoption of strong, sensible product liability laws that encompass artificial intelligence systems. The right product liability framework can incentivize transparency and safety while holding AI developers accountable for their products.
