America should regulate frontier AI, not ban it
By
The Economist
Summary
This opinion piece argues that while frontier AI models like Anthropic's Mythos and OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol pose serious risks (hacking, bioterrorism advice), America should not respond by imprisoning or banning the technology. Instead, it calls for better regulations, drawing historical parallels to regulatory bodies like the Federal Reserve, FDA, and SEC that were created after disasters — but suggests we should regulate AI proactively before a catastrophe occurs.
