GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Smith's comparison highlights a regulatory gap that could become more pressing as AI systems are deployed in higher-stakes settings, from healthcare to infrastructure. Coming from a major AI developer rather than a critic, the call may carry weight with policymakers, though it could also be read as an attempt to shape future rules before they are imposed externally.
