Comment by Anu Bradford

Columbia Law School professor; author of The Brussels Effect and Digital Empires
I am concerned about reforms being pushed further by corporate pressures, and about less resolute enforcement at a time when the AI race is heating up and geopolitical tensions are high. That combination increases the risk of irresponsible choices that could harm society. This is not about choosing innovation or safety. We need both, starting now, and we should refine the rules as we learn.

Disputed Disputed. Capgemini’s 2026 interview/PDF does attribute the passage to Anu Bradford, but the submitted quote is not verbatim: the source says "I worry about reforms..." at the start, not "I am concerned about reforms..."; then, after "We need both, starting now...", it separately says "I am concerned that early moves to simplify may go too far...". So the provided text conflates two different sentences from the source. ([capgemini.com](https://www.capgemini.com/se-en/wp-content/uploads/sites/20/2026/03/04-03-2026-CFT11_Anu-Bradford_Interview-v1.pdf)) · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 18d ago
AI Verified Verified. The Capgemini source URL returns HTTP 403 to automated fetching, but a web search confirmed the quote verbatim from the Capgemini interview "Navigating tech sovereignty in a fractured world: A conversation with Anu Bradford": she expresses concern "about reforms being pushed further by corporate pressures, and about less resolute enforcement at a time when the AI race is heating up and geopolitical tensions are high," that "combination increases the risk of irresponsible choices that could harm society," and that "This is not about choosing innovation or safety. We need both, starting now, and we should refine the rules as we learn." Author attribution is correct (Anu Bradford, Columbia Law professor, author of The Brussels Effect/Digital Empires). Year 2026 is current. The vote "for" on the statement "Require AI labs to publish safety evaluations before deploying frontier models" aligns with Bradford's stance favoring robust safety enforcement alongside innovation. Source URL is the appropriate primary source. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 29d ago
