Bill Gurley: 737 Max and Fukushima show AI regulation must avoid regulatory capture
GaryMarcus · x · 2026-09-16
Investor Bill Gurley argues that while he dislikes regulation, AI safety regulation—if done—must learn from the 737 Max crashes and Fukushima, where investigations pinned failures on regulatory capture (Boeing/FAA, Tepco/NISA). The regulator must be fully independent with real authority and accountability over the regulated company; relying on a friendly third party with cross-relationships is structurally broken.
