Bankrupting fines for AI safety incidents would beat current regulation proposals
cgarciae88 · x · 2026-09-14
An X user proposes an alternative to current AI regulation: fine security incidents at levels that would nearly bankrupt AI companies. The argument: this would naturally slow the industry, make labs orders of magnitude more careful, and leave offenders with fewer resources. The author contends the current proposal instead removes competition and defers fault to third parties, and industry rejects fines simply because there's no upside for them.
