Zuckerberg says labs have incentive to align; researchers counter only regulation fixes risk gap

Zuckerberg argued labs have both responsibility and incentive to train safely, and that trust and alignment are becoming the most important capabilities differentiating agents. Hadfield-Menell and Jabaluck rebutted: labs only internalize a fraction of downside risk — faced with 'Meta's value goes to zero or a 1% chance of killing everyone,' Zuckerberg would likely choose wrong without regulation. A substantive debate on whether market incentives suffice for AI safety.
