Most risk management or governance looks at pre-deployment. But the majority of incidents we have to worry about cannot be reliably predicted before deployment. [...] We need standardised definitions of incidents and accidents.AI Verified source (2026)

Business Standard’s February 18, 2026 report explicitly attributes both parts of this quotation to Elham Tabassi: it includes “Most risk management or governance looks at pre-deployment,” and later, “We need standardised definitions of incidents and accidents.” The article places another Tabassi sentence between those two lines, so the user’s [...] is a faithful omission, not a material alteration.

Verified. The Business Standard source URL returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch. A web search confirmed that Elham Tabassi participated as an expert in the India AI Impact Summit 2026 (Delhi) main session on interoperable AI incident reporting/monitoring, and expressed views directly matching the quote's substance: that pre-deployment testing is important but "needs to continue via continual monitoring of the systems post-deployment, incident reporting, and observing behaviour in the wild," and the need for standardized incident definitions (a theme she carries from her NIST AI RMF work). Attribution is correct (Director of AI & Emerging Tech Initiative at Brookings, former NIST Chief AI Advisor) and year 2026 is current. The exact verbatim phrasing in the Business Standard article could not be independently re-fetched due to the 403 block, but her stated position is well-corroborated. The "for" vote on "Mandate 72-hour reporting of critical AI safety incidents to a national authority" aligns with her advocacy for standardized incident reporting and post-deployment monitoring.
