Google’s FARO Pitch Separates Lighter AI Rules From Predictable Ones
Google’s frontier AI proposal is less about no rules than about rules companies can price, staff, and survive.
- Treat FARO as a signal for audits, benchmarks, incident response, and transparency clauses in frontier model plans.
- Do not confuse a narrower regulator with lighter obligations; predictability can still mean more documentation.
- For ordinary AI apps, watch sector rules on privacy, kids, work, copyright, energy, and provenance.
