MIT Technology Review featured AI Now senior director @Kabakab arguing for enforceable action to regulate AI companies instead of voluntary commitments the companies write themselves. The quote comes from a New York Times Magazine roundtable on AI law. Also:...

The argument goes to a central question in AI policy: whether companies should be bound by enforceable rules or keep setting their own commitments. For policymakers, AI developers and users, that choice shapes what accountability looks like in practice. Watch whether this position appears in further AI law debates, though this post alone does not show any policy change.
