US, China, EU: Three Paths to Regulating AI

The US, China and the EU are regulating AI in three very different ways: voluntary pledges and executive orders, targeted state rules with tight content control, and a single law with named fines. We compare the instruments, dates and penalties, show where the paths converge, and set out a plan for firms that sell into all three.

AI Governance Consulting: From Framework to Technical Implementation

AI governance consulting should end with working controls, not a binder. This guide shows how an engagement turns ISO/IEC 42001, the NIST AI RMF and the EU AI Act into a technical control plane: discovery and a system register, testable control objectives, an AI gateway, guardrails, policy as code, release gates, logging and incident clocks, plus UK day rates, five engagement shapes and a worked 42-day example.

Bill Gates Joins Calls for AI Safeguards, Including Legislation

On Meet the Press, broadcast on 27 September 2026, Bill Gates told NBC’s Kristen Welker that “no one thinks self-regulation is enough” and that Washington must pass AI legislation making safeguards and monitoring “a required thing”.

Anthropic and OpenAI Want to Embed Safety Evaluators. Will They Really Be Independent?

Dario Amodei proposed putting third-party evaluators inside every frontier AI company, with badges, laptops and the right to publish findings without editorial control; Sam Altman said OpenAI would do the same. The evaluators themselves welcome the idea and do not yet believe it. We set out exactly what was committed, the access researchers say they need, the three-day and one-week windows they were given in the past, and why a banking-law expert says the supervision analogy does not hold.
