Comparing Amodei's AI oversight to nuclear safeguards ignores decades-long science gap
ShahabBakht · x · 2026-09-14
Responding to Dario Amodei's call for evaluators and IAEA-style oversight of AI, ShahabBakht argues that controlling dual-use technology is never simple, as the nuclear proliferation crisis shows. Worse, he adds, on the foundational science needed for real control, AI is decades behind where nuclear physics was — meaning such oversight lacks the scientific foundation that made nuclear safeguards workable.
