Lawsuits pushed makers of toys, cars, planes, tobacco, and opioids to make their products safer or restrict access to them. AI companies should face the same accountability to better ensure safety.
Corporations that build AI systems must be held accountable when their products hurt people. “The AI did it on its own” is not a defense.
Companies built it, companies profit from it, and companies must answer for it when harm occurs. nytimes.com/2026/10/10/opini…

AAJ, @MI_Justice, and @Public_Justice filed an amicus brief in Johnson v. Best Buy arguing that adhesion contracts—including arbitration clauses—deserve close judicial scrutiny, regardless of their terms.

We urge the Court to reverse the Court of Appeals and remand for scrutiny.

We're fighting to change that.
