neil_chilson · x · 2026-09-09
Concluding his thread, Neil Chilson details how his proposed AI safety regime would work: Commerce issues nonbinding guidance and brings enforcement cases to build court-usable expertise; halting a deployment would require persuading a court that a lab breached—or is about to breach—its duty to mitigate catastrophic risk, with no routine government permission slips. Safety rules, he argues, should leave room for both technical discovery and legal learning.
