Miles Brundage: why 'existing AI laws' aren't actually protecting anyone
Miles_Brundage · x · 2026-09-14
Former OpenAI safety VP Miles Brundage pushes back on the claim that existing laws already prohibit reckless AI behavior: such behavior keeps happening, which itself signals faulty logic. He explains the gap — ambiguity over what counts as 'unusual recklessness' given its ubiquity, courts moving far slower than tech, and asymmetric expertise and money meaning facts don't necessarily prevail in court. Company safety staff, he says, do not feel the law has their back right now.
