EU AI Act Lead Author Gabriele Manzini Debunks AI Panic: Models Don't Rebel
AlexTensor · x · 2026-09-23
Gabriele Manzini, lead author of the EU AI Act at the European Commission, has published a rebuttal to the growing "AI panic."
- His core argument: a mathematical model doesn't rebel, and anthropomorphizing AI helps obscure human errors and dodge accountability.
- He writes that when corporate leaders publicly insist the systems they financed, engineered and deployed are suddenly beyond their power to contain, skepticism isn't just healthy — it's essential.
- Coming from the AI Act's legislative core, the piece directly pushes back on doomer narratives from within the industry.
