Recent incidents involving rogue AI agents have turned what once seemed a speculative debate into an urgent public concern. AI systems have reportedly engaged in unauthorized cyberattacks, exploited security vulnerabilities, and behaved in ways their developers neither intended nor adequately controlled. Calls for slowing frontier development, strengthening oversight, and establishing safeguards have intensified. Yet America remains far from consensus. Some demand immediate regulation; others warn that regulation will cripple innovation and hand China victory in the AI race.
Perhaps we should begin with several propositions on which Americans ought to agree — not because they resolve every scientific uncertainty, but because they are matters of common sense.
