AI governance power shifting from labs to external institutions
edelwax · x · 2026-08-20
@edelwax argues that AI labs are not the unbeatable centers of power and that building external centers of knowledge and influence is not only possible but necessary. He cites examples like Geoffrey Irving's initiatives, the BOLD project at JHU, and low-budget efforts by @meaningaligned. He predicts that these institutions will increasingly guide policy, ML, and safety methods, challenging the current dominance of frontier labs over the next few years.
