Import AI 456: 'Radical Optionality' — New AI Regulation Framework Recommends Governments Spend on Preparedness, Not Immediate Heavy Rules

Import AI·medium signal

The Institute for Law & AI proposes 'Radical Optionality' as an AI governance strategy: governments should invest heavily in regulatory infrastructure (transparency requirements, whistleblower protections, third-party auditing, AISI/CAISI talent recruitment) without immediately imposing heavy restrictions. The framework argues that preserving flexibility for future governance is more valuable than premature overregulation in a rapidly evolving landscape.
