An interesting quote:

The implications of such a general obligation of due diligence are also significant for the development of technology in a broader sense. If Microsoft release VASA-1 which offers lifelike audio-driven talking faces generated in real time, OpenAI release their voice cloning tool, or in relation to the provision of LLMs such as ChatGPT, is the US under a general obligation to prevent their use from causing harm to the rights of other states, for example, widespread harassment of target groups, criminal activity or political disinformation? Is the US under a general obligation to prevent Meta’s services causing harm to the rights of other states, or China under a general obligation to prevent TikTok’s services causing harm to the rights of other states?
