Miles Brundage: 'existing laws ban reckless AI' is faulty logic — safety staff don't feel backed

Former OpenAI policy lead Miles Brundage pushes back on the common claim that "existing laws already say you can't do reckless AI stuff." Reckless AI behavior keeps happening, he notes, which should be a sign the logic is faulty — and company safety/security staff do not feel the law has their back right now. A direct critique of the narrative that existing legal frameworks suffice to govern frontier AI risk.
