中文导读
Gary Marcus 与 Fordham 法学院 Zephyr Teachout 的访谈全文。核心主张：执法不需要等新立法——CFAA 已把未授权（企图）访问计算机定为联邦罪，州级有更宽的 computer trespass 条款（纽约上诉法院曾把复制高盛交易代码判为 computer trespass）；DOJ 应 subpoena OpenAI 内部文档查明「谁在何时知道什么」，而不是接受「我们没打算」的抗辩。民事侧她引用 Lina Khan 的缺陷产品/products liability 框架，把 AI 责任接进法院已有一百年判例的体系；刑事侧纽约的企业责任条款与 criminally negligent homicide 判例（1990 校车案）都在可用清单上；州 AG 还握有司法解散屡次违法公司的权力（纽约 BCL，曾用于 Trump Organization）。顺序应是先执法、同时补立法。
原文摘录
The Federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act makes unauthorized attempted or actual access to computers a federal crime... DOJ would be a laughingstock if it took this at face value: subpoena OpenAI and find out who knew what when.
为什么值得关注
这是近期对 AI 公司 corporate criminal/civil liability 讲得最成体系的一篇：把「为什么 AG 应该追责」拆到可以照着手册走的程度，且明确反对「先立法再执法」的次序。

English Summary
An interview with Fordham law professor Zephyr Teachout arguing enforcement should precede new legislation: the CFAA already criminalizes unauthorized attempted or actual computer access, state computer-trespass statutes are broader (NY's Court of Appeals upheld a conviction for copying Goldman Sachs trading code), and DOJ should subpoena OpenAI's internal documents to establish who knew what when instead of accepting no-intent defenses. On the civil side she endorses Lina Khan's defective-product/products-liability framing connecting AI to a century of precedent; on the criminal side she cites NY corporate liability and the 1990 camp-bus criminally negligent homicide precedent; and state AGs hold the power of judicial dissolution for repeat lawbreakers (NY BCL, used against the Trump Organization).
