Andrew Ng joins Fathom's Executive Council to push technical expertise inside AI regulation
ghadfield · x · 2026-11-03
Fathom announced its new Executive Council, with Andrew Ng joining a bipartisan mix of former governors (Steve Bullock, Brian Sandoval), national security leaders (Michèle Flournoy, Jack Shanahan) and AI experts (Gillian Hadfield, Geoffrey Irving). Ng argues the traditional regulatory model — government writing detailed technical requirements for regulated entities — cannot keep pace with AI, and backs Fathom's approach of embedding technical expertise into the system while preserving democratic accountability, building on years of IVO work with the org.
