AI builders outnumber AI governance hires 7:1 in Europe
- consensus1 2mo agoActual workers should outnumber "governance" bureaucrats by 100:1
- anuramat 2mo agothe article implies that the perfect balance is 1:1; I want to believe this is just some sort of a ragebait-based PR strategy
- pmoorcraft 2mo agoEventually they will. But whilst we adapt, it should be low
- anuramat 2mo agowhy?
- pmoorcraft 2mo agoBecause there are no widely agreed upon standards for AI use. The EU AI Act still doesn't really solve this. Until we can all agree what safe and fair AI use is, companies will scramble to implement their own safeguards
- kubelsmieci 2mo agoWho are these "we"?
- anuramat 2mo agoif you don't make your own tech, standards will be defined by people that do
- _vertigo 2mo agoGreat, a totally vibe-coded website with a slop “analysis” about AI touting a meaningless ratio with zero context
- goldenarm 2mo agoThe regulations are not meant to be productive, they are meant to reduce negative externalities. It's like minimizing the cop-to-criminal ratio. Sure it would save money, but would society come out improved ?
- shaftoe 2mo agoWhat the heck is an AI governance role that would remotely require these kinds of ratios? PCI compliance is critical in payments and no one would suggest you need "PCI governance" in a single digit ratio to "builders".
- causality0 2mo agoI maintain my position that "being really, really stupid" should be added to the Guidelines for post flagging.
- consensus1 2mo agoShould be a separate [stupid] flag, though.
- AlanYx 2mo agoI disagree with this being flagged. I'd be interested in seeing more data of this type, despite how "preposterous" it is from a tech perspective. I've long speculated that in Canada we're at about a 3:1 ratio for builders to AI regulators if you include government and NGOs, and the numbers in this link from Ireland are not far off that (and this link excludes government and NGO regulatory hires). It's clear that outside of the US, there is an atypically large regulatory complex building compared to actual implementors.
