Abstract: Artificial intelligence generates enormous benefits but also creates novel safety risks, including extreme risks for which full liability is infeasible. This talk presents an analytical framework in which firms choose AI autonomy and invest in either "balanced" or "targeted" safety R&D. A central finding is that optimal liability for ordinary AI harm should be punitive—exceeding actual harm—to curb excessive autonomy and mitigate investment distortions. The talk further examines when ex ante regulation may dominate ex post liability, and discusses how open-sourcing, market competition, and global rivalry alter AI safety incentives.
