The simplest governance rule: don't let AI make hiring decisions. Let it make recommendations.

Hence, under the overarching ambit of the National AI Council and together with tripartite partners, we are studying the use of AI tools by businesses and its impact on employment, before deciding the most appropriate approach for Singapore.

The requirement of human review is one of the most burdensome compliance elements for employers, particularly in comparison to states that allow alternative processes rather than human review.

Human in the loop for AI agents is an execution-control pattern in which an agent stops before a designated action, hands a decision to a person, and does not continue until that person accepts, edits, or refuses it.

Industry discourse often presents “Human-in-the-Loop” as the ultimate safeguard for AI deployment, yet this is a dangerous fallacy in high-velocity agentic systems.

We need regular mandatory independent safety testing and oversight, mandatory disclosure of security incidents, and international cooperation to keep people safe from absolute disaster.

Timelines for incident reports are often set with well-intentioned urgency, but if they implicitly assume that root-cause analysis or full impact assessment has already been conducted, they will either produce premature and unreliable reports or plac...

I appreciate the intent behind the amendments and the shadow Minister’s position of understanding but not supporting them, which I share.

We need binding commitments with transparency regarding AI and mandatory obligations for disclosure of resources of consumption.

The U.S. and China won’t move in lockstep on AI safety, and forging mutually binding agreements with real teeth is probably not possible right now.

MAGS will create more work, not less. But only deliberate effort will ensure that this work is accessible to all who are willing to adapt.

We all know generative AI will destroy certain jobs and will create new jobs.

We're the generation questioning companies that celebrate AI while replacing human workers.

Interoperability should not be confused with regulatory uniformity. The compatibility of governance-free approaches should enable dialogue among different national policy frameworks. It should not restrict the right of states to adopt their own regul...

We remain concerned that Illinois would effectively be requiring private actors to make highly subjective determinations requiring AI safety compliance without established national standards, certifications, or clear regulatory guardrails.

There is consensus that transparency and explainability are important for responsible use of AI.

We have a very natural instinct to say: we want as much interpretability as possible. One of the sci-fi worry cases is that agents start speaking in languages to each other that we don't understand. [...] I bet there are ways to define boundaries tha...

[...] principles requiring that AI be explicable are misguided. We should be deciding which decisions require explanations. Automation is still an option;

We think it’s still good to recommend what would actually be good, even if you think that your audience is probably not going to listen.

A doctrine whose trigger mechanism can be this thoroughly disputed cannot function as a deterrent. Deterrence requires certainty. MAD worked because both sides knew, with something close to certainty, what a launch would produce. MACD, as currently s...

Congressmen Lieu and Moran deserve credit for confronting this before a crisis forces the question, and Congress should act swiftly to ensure that humans remain the ones who can say stop, no matter how capable these systems become.

In that situation, the concept of a kill switch is meaningless.

Gender and child rights impact assessment must be mandatory, conducted before deployment with affected communities participating, not merely documented.

Competition, innovation, and speech options will be limited as a result of these moves.

Standards like the C2PA specification must be built with privacy, and human rights at their center so they cannot become surveillance infrastructure. Alongside that, we need detection capabilities for deceptive AI that work globally.

A handful of bills introduced this year seek to categorically ban “deepfakes.” In other words, these bills would make it unlawful to create or share AI-generated content depicting someone saying or doing something that the person did not in reality s...

It is fueling mass surveillance, disinformation on social media, and enabling bias, including from a gender perspective.

The use of live facial recognition in our public spaces is an extraordinary expansion of state power that currently exists in a legal vacuum. We are not Luddites on these Benches; we recognise the utility of technology, but we must ensure that live f...

Prohibited practices shall include AI-enabled social scoring, indiscriminate biometric mass surveillance in public spaces without lawful authorization, and manipulative or deceptive AI systems that exploit vulnerabilities of individuals or groups.

We need regular mandatory independent safety testing and oversight, mandatory disclosure of security incidents, and international cooperation to keep people safe from absolute disaster.

The draft implementing regulation should clearly differentiate between API access, which should be the preferred method for safety evaluations where access to documents and relevant information are deemed insufficient, and “further” means of access, ...

Advanced AI capabilities, computing infrastructure, and investment remain concentrated among a limited number of actors. Inclusive governance must ensure that all countries have the capacity and voice to shape how AI is developed, deployed, and regul...

Governance cannot depend only to who develop the models. Countries need the capacity to evaluate, audit, and adapt AI systems according to their own needs, social, environmental, and regulatory contexts.

For the most advanced frontier AI models, an independent, federally overseen, industry-backed organization could set safety standards and verify independent, voluntary audits, similar to how other critical sectors are managed.
