I wonder if you could take an x-risk case to court and convince a judge and jury to award damages for harm that could have happened.

Is there any precedent for this? My hunch is that it's impossible in the US at least but who knows?

"Reckless endangerment" is a thing, but unfortunately I would expect trying to sue an AI company for it would be an uphill battle

If you can prove that there’s an imminent threat, you can get an injunction.

Courts do not award damages for things that didn't happen.
