AI needs lab-style safety: risk checks, oversight, and documentation
davidmanheim · x · 2026-07-22
The post argues that AI oversight needs something closer to basic biolab safety: risk identification, oversight, and documentation of practices.
It frames the problem as a governance gap rather than a technical one—active monitoring and the ability to pause sessions may sound good, but meaningful oversight is still missing. The author points readers to a paper arguing that oversight needs to be designed properly, not bolted on later.
