Fathom CEO: Companies grading own homework risks unsafe AI adoption
ghadfield · x · 2026-08-19
Fathom CEO argues that the current state of AI safety is flawed because companies are effectively grading their own homework, leaving enterprises with no choice but to trust vendors.
He notes that while the capacity for change exists with 40 organizations working on assurance, what's missing is the framework and investment to scale a marketplace of Independent Validation Organizations (IVOs) licensed by the government. He also cites OpenAI to illustrate how alignment solutions that seemed sufficient three months ago may now seem inadequate as capabilities scale.
