Gary Marcus Invokes Aviation Safety to Counter AI Deregulation Arguments
GaryMarcus · x · 2026-09-17
Gary Marcus rebuts David Sacks and JTLonsdale's framing that regulation and liability are mutually exclusive: commercial aviation safety depends on layered regulation across design, maintenance, operation, and investigation—and AI will need the same.

A representative exchange in the ongoing AI regulation debate.
