Wildeford clashes with Dean Ball: airline safety data sharing is legally mandated, not altruism

Peter Wildeford clashed with Dean Ball and Mike Solana over analogies for AI safety regulation. Ball argued airlines share safety information voluntarily; Wildeford countered that airlines share safety data because the law requires it, not out of altruism — and those same laws grant protection from punitive regulatory enforcement, including the antitrust exemption. The exchange turns on whether mandatory legal requirements paired with legal protections are prerequisites for industry-wide AI safety collaboration.
