Researcher: regulating AI as a normal technology would best reduce risks
agstrait · x · 2026-09-15
Researcher JaaiVipra lays out a three-step argument: (1) AI capabilities, even if jagged, have improved far beyond gloomy predictions; (2) the biggest risks come from optimistically applying a non-deterministic technology to unsuitable problems; (3) therefore regulating AI stringently as a normal technology would best reduce risks — a concise case against doom narratives and for routine-style regulation.
