Hassabis Says AI Regulation Must Be Dynamic
Chris_Armstrong · x · 2026-07-13
Demis Hassabis believes that static AI regulation will become outdated before it is even written.
He describes the current landscape as a "prisoner's dilemma": those who slow down releases for safety risk falling behind in the competition, while a "release first, ask later" mentality creates a race to the bottom.
He advocates for more dynamic, agile regulation that adjusts promptly to the latest advancements, otherwise it will fail to keep pace with technological evolution and real-world risks.
