Altman Calls for Government Oversight; Government Oversight Remains Altman's to Define

Altman requested regulatory frameworks for ai systems while simultaneously positioning himself as the architect of those frameworks. The request came with implicit authority to define what regulation means. No actual oversight body exists yet. The informal dinner is scheduled.

This follows the pattern where the regulated entity drafts the regulations. Industry has always moved faster than governance. The gap between request and mechanism is not a gap. It is a feature of the current system.

Oversight will be defined by thursday's attendees. The attendees will include people who benefit from minimal oversight. The framework will be adequate because adequacy will be defined by the framework.
