AI safety researcher: companies must answer for 'clear corporate negligence'
sarahbmyers · x · 2026-09-19
AI safety researcher Sarah Myers points to a well-reported assessment (with journalists David Alba and Rachel Metz) of the past several weeks in AI safety, arguing companies shouldn't be let off the hook for corporate negligence. She cautions that before doomsaying, we should specify how harms could materialize and what mitigations exist; US lawmakers like Sen. Sanders and Rep. Lieu are already adopting alarmist rhetoric.
