The law would allow you to sue whoever is running the chatbot. If you run your own LLM locally and take bad advice from it, then it's your own fault.

Walk me through how a company based and operating not in new york would be subject to any actions from this lawsuit.

So who gets sued. The guy who put the chat bot on the server and is running it or the chatbot software developer themselves?

Or both?
