Dean W. Ball(@deanwball):The conflation of “regulation” and “regulatory capture” in AI discourse has always been frustrating to me. It is hard to have a reasonable conversation about public policy when half of the commentariat conflates all AI-specific public policy ideas with “regulatory capture.”
