Brundage: Framing AI Safety as Purely Technical Is an Anti-Regulation Move
Miles_Brundage · x · 2026-09-17
Miles Brundage argues it's no surprise that opponents of any regulation frame AI safety as a purely technical issue — it makes safety look easily solvable and shields the industry from criticism. But technical challenges aren't the whole story: safety is a socio-technical problem shaped by competition and time pressure, with no once-and-for-all fix, and safety gains get reinvested into new risks.
