David Linthicum on Slow down AI development

David Linthicum

AI and cloud-computing expert; founder of Linthicum Research and former Deloitte chief cloud strategy officer.

The AI industry does not need a slowdown showdown staged by companies that already got their head start. It needs honest competition, practical safeguards, and governance that does not confuse corporate self-interest with public virtue.
