Comment by Rumman Chowdhury
AI ethicist and Humane Intelligence CEO
Critically, robust regulation of high‑risk AI does not stifle innovation; it enables it. In safety engineering there is a saying: brakes help you drive faster. The existence of reliable brakes does not slow cars down—brakes create the conditions under which drivers can safely go farther, faster, with confidence.AI Verified source (Jan 15, 2026)

The source PDF, titled "Testimony of Dr. Rumman Chowdhury" and dated January 15, 2026, does contain this passage and attributes it to Dr. Rumman Chowdhury. However, it is not verbatim as submitted: the source begins, "Critically, robust regulation of high‑risk AI does not stifle innovation; it enables it," while the provided quote omits "Critically," without marking an omission such as [...].

Quote attributed to Dr. Rumman Chowdhury (AI ethicist, Humane Intelligence CEO), year 2026. Source URL (nysenate.gov PDF) returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch, but a web search confirmed the quote verbatim from her testimony delivered January 15, 2026 to the New York Senate Standing Committee on Internet and Technology: "Robust regulation of high-risk AI does not stifle innovation; it enables it. In safety engineering there is a saying: brakes help you drive faster. The existence of reliable brakes does not slow cars down—brakes create the conditions under which drivers can safely go farther, faster, with confidence." Author attribution correct. Year 2026 current. Source URL is the correct primary document. Vote alignment correct: statement "Mandate 72-hour reporting of critical AI safety incidents to a national authority" is voted "for." Note: the quote is a general pro-regulation/guardrails argument rather than specifically about incident reporting, but her testimony advocates mandatory audits, risk-management programs, and oversight of high-risk AI, so the "for" vote on a specific safety-reporting mandate is directionally consistent with her clearly stated position.
