Steven Sinofsky argues that AI executives asking Congress to regulate them is a striking example of regulatory capture.
- He says tech companies in AI “rolled out the red carpet” for government regulation and missed a chance to avoid repeating past regulatory blind spots around the internet and PCs.
- The core critique is that companies framed regulation as universally beneficial, while in practice it also gave government an opening to re-enter tech oversight.
