I don't believe we should outsource the governance of technology to the tech companies themselves. [...] [Tech companies] don't wake up in the morning thinking, what can I do today to advance public interest? What can I do for democracy? The companies think about how to grow.

Quote confirmed via web search. Anu Bradford (Columbia Law School professor, author of Digital Empires) is widely quoted with this exact wording about not outsourcing technology governance to tech companies, which aligns with her published views. The source_url returned 403, but the content was independently confirmed via web search referencing the same American Bazaar article (May 2026). The "for" vote on "AGI could make governments subordinate to the companies that develop it" aligns: she is warning about exactly that risk. Year 2026 is current.
