The volume that we're dealing with is one where eventually we do need to switch from this kind of voluntary reporting, to more mandatory form of reporting. [...] The insight you can derive from mandatory reporting is greater than that of this voluntary reporting. Like we can prove existence, we can prove it's happening.

Quote attributed to Sean McGregor (Executive Director of the AI Incident Database): "The volume that we're dealing with is one where eventually we do need to switch from this kind of voluntary reporting, to more mandatory form of reporting. [...] The insight you can derive from mandatory reporting is greater than that of this voluntary reporting. Like we can prove existence, we can prove it's happening." Year 2026 (Practical AI podcast ep. 346). Vote "for" on statement "Mandate 72-hour reporting of critical AI safety incidents to a national authority" aligns correctly — McGregor advocates moving from voluntary to mandatory AI incident reporting. The source_url (practicalai.fm transcript) returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch. However, web search corroborated the quoted content (switch from voluntary to mandatory reporting; mandatory gives greater insight, can prove incidents are happening) and attribution to McGregor on this podcast. Marking ai_unverifiable only because the source URL blocks automated fetching; corroboration is strong.
