There's a culture of seeing corporations as helpless, sniveling bullied little entities who're trying their best, especially in tech.
The thing is, companies operate on a shareholder return incentive.
If you make it unprofitable to operate dangerous products, you just win. They need disciplining.

Court holds Google liable for false claims in AI Overviews. Seems significant.
"A regular search engine just points to outside websites. But AI overviews generate 'independent, new, and substantive statements' by evaluating and combining content from various third-party sites" the-decoder
A German regional court has ruled that Google is directly liable for the content of its AI search overviews. According to the court, previous limited liability protections for search engine operators don't apply to AI overviews. In this case, Google's AI had falsely linked two publishers to fraud and made claims that didn't appear in any of the linked sources. The ruling could set a precedent for AI-generated content liability worldwide.
