Experts call for external oversight in AI as self-regulation proves inadequate, says Brad Gastwirth amid rising regulatory divide
AI firms face pressure for stronger external oversight
AI companies cannot be expected to police their own systems entirely, according to Brad Gastwirth, who argues that external oversight will be needed as the technology becomes more advanced.
Gastwirth supports companies maintaining strong internal safeguards, but says relying solely on self-regulation creates risks, particularly as autonomous AI systems become capable of making decisions with limited human intervention.
He says government and independent oversight could provide an additional layer of accountability while allowing AI companies to continue developing new technologies.
His comments come as businesses and policymakers debate how to balance innovation with regulation, with the divide between industry-led safeguards and government intervention becoming increasingly prominent.
