Every Dangerous Industry Had to Be Forced. AI Is Asking to Go Voluntary.

Reflect w/ Ed Fassio — where AI tells the stories that matter. On June 2, Trump signed an executive order asking AI companies to voluntarily submit their most powerful models for government review before release. Voluntary. Brookings called it "a troubling shift away from safe, accountable AI." CFR said the order signals a change — but far more work is needed. The history of self-regulation in dangerous industries is not encouraging. Tobacco. Pharma. Social media. Every one of them promised to police themselves. Every one of them needed to be forced. AI thinks it's different. History suggests it isn't. Your Move: Don't wait for regulation to tell you what responsible AI deployment looks like at your organization. Build governance culture now — while the window is open and the standards are still yours to define. — Reflect w/ Ed Fassio | reflectpodcast.comSend us Fan Mail Support the showLISTEN TO MORE EPISODES: https://www.reflectpodcast.com
