- Establishes product liability framework for high-impact and generative AI systems, allowing lawsuits against developers for defective design, inadequate warnings, or breach of express warranty when the developer failed to exercise reasonable care
- Holds AI deployers liable as developers when they make material and substantial changes to an AI product or intentionally misuse it contrary to express warranty, causing harm to plaintiffs
- Defines "harm" broadly to include property damage, physical injury, death, financial loss, reputational damage, psychological anguish, and behavioral distortion
- Creates rebuttable presumption that a product is not defective if the deployer conducted documented testing consistent with NIST AI Risk Management Framework, mitigated foreseeable risks, disclosed risks to consumers, and maintained AI data sheets available to the Attorney General
- Exempts businesses with fewer than 20 employees or under 10,000 users from deployer liability, and excludes products used strictly for peer-reviewed scientific research
