A 'fourth way' to regulate AI: federal duty to mitigate catastrophic risk plus common-law accountability
neil_chilson · x · 2026-09-09
Neil Chilson lays out his case for a 'fourth, even less bad way' to regulate AI: a federal duty to mitigate catastrophic risk, backed by common-law accountability. The core argument is that AI safety rules should leave room for both technical discovery and legal learning — addressing catastrophic risk without stifling innovation. He credits analyses by Brendan McCord, judgeglock, and Gabriel Weil.
