This is regulation as recursion. And recursion is, after all, what AI does best.
In 2023, over 1,000 tech leaders and researchers signed an open letter comparing the risks of artificial intelligence to those of pandemics and nuclear war.

Meanwhile, in the United States, the White House secured voluntary commitments from seven AI companies, while China implemented mandatory security reviews for “generative AI services with public opinion characteristics.”
