Legislatures and regulators face significant challenges in rapidly translating conventional command-and-control legal requirements into technical requirements. [...] Overreliance on industry to provide technical standards fails to ensure that the many values-based decisions that must be made to shape AI development and deployment are made by democratically accountable public, not private, actors. [...] The model proposes the development of an independent sector of licensed private regulators. Governments license and audit private regulators, evaluating their regulatory services against the required outcomes. Unverified source (2026)
