Google is helping write AI chatbot safety laws — while pushing for loopholes

States are ramping up efforts to regulate AI chatbots, and Google is actively participating in drafting safety laws. However, the company is simultaneously seeking to include loopholes that would exempt some of its most advanced products from these regulations. This dual approach raises concerns about whether tech companies are genuinely committed to safety or prioritizing their own interests. Such maneuvers could hinder the development of comprehensive safety standards, impacting the broader public's trust in AI technology.
