Zeynep: real threats come from good-enough AI at scale, not runaway superintelligence
agstrait · x · 2026-09-15
Zeynep argues the key threats come from good-enough AI deployed at scale, not alleged out-of-control superintelligence from two companies. "Pacing the frontier" won't fix those real threats, but holding frontier AI companies and their corporate users accountable in regular, available ways—while building defenses against good-enough AI at scale—might. She adds that additional AI-specific regulation is needed, but there's no need to wait or privilege a few companies.
