Comment by Asad Baig

Technology-policy advocate, journalist, and founder of Media Matters for Democracy.
A better approach would be risk-based. Low-risk applications need little intervention, while systems crossing defined thresholds in areas such as cyber capability, biological risk, weapons, critical infrastructure or autonomous action should face much tougher requirements. Frontier models could undergo mandatory independent testing before deployment, serious incidents should be disclosed, and companies should retain liability for foreseeable harms.
