The Regulatory Review @theregreview.bsky.social · 21h
AI labs can help make international AI governance more feasible by adopting shared standards for transparency, incident reporting, and third-party review, argues @kevintfrazier.bsky.social. www.theregreview.org/2026/09/28/f...

Beware of constitution-washing. Before giving anyone credit for adopting a “constitution,” ask: Whose power does it limit? Who can challenge a violation? Who resolves that challenge? What happens if the challenge succeeds? Can those bound by the rules unilaterally rewrite them?

AI constitutions offer a compelling, legible way to hold labs accountable. They're understudied, verbose, and variable but there's a growing effort to change all that.

You should care about AI constitutions. The values, priorities, and trade-offs set forth by these documents change the behavior of models used by billions. Yet, just a handful of people draft these consequential documents. Listen to the latest version of @scalinglaws.bsky.social to learn more.

Is the Oversight Board a model for AI governance? Kenji Yoshino helped @klonick.bsky.social & me reason through that question. For all of its faults, the Board is an informative experiment. And, an OSB for AI would need to look wildly different.

In @anthropicai.bsky.social v SecWar, challenging its tarring as "a supply chain risk," Judge Lin lists questions she wants the parties to be ready to answer at Thursday's hearing. I think I perceive skepticism about certain of the govt's arguments. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... 1/3
Defendants argue that Anthropic breached the government's "trust" by airing criticisms of the government's contracting position in the press, which led to fears that Anthropic might secretly sabotage Claude. Would it eviscerate First Amendment
protections to allow the government to retaliate against a defense contractor for public criticism so long as the government described its actions as being based on a breach of "trust"?
