AI Now at House Hearing: AI Companies Aren't Just Grading Their Own Homework, They're Writing the Curriculum
AINowInstitute · x · 2026-09-26
At the Monopoly Busters hearing on Big Tech and AI, AI Now Institute's Amba Kak told Rep. Delia Ramirez that AI companies risk not only "grading their own homework, but setting the curriculum" for how they're held accountable for the harms and risks they create.
The remark targets a core tension in AI accountability: evaluation benchmarks, safety claims, and risk frameworks are largely defined by the companies themselves, leaving regulators with few independent means of verification.
