AI companies should face full safety audits before internal deployments

The post frames a debate about whether AI companies should require full safety audits before internal deployments. It argues that claims like “government can’t do that,” “firms regulate themselves,” or “the risk is low” all effectively amount to rejecting the need for those audits.
The core point is that if companies are deploying AI internally, the question is not whether oversight exists in principle, but whether meaningful safety review should happen before deployment.
