Their insider warnings reveal that major AI firms tend to avoid collaborating with regulators, often warning each other not to speak openly with authorities.

Gladstone's research highlights the worst-case scenario: a lack of regulation and oversight could enable unsafe AI systems to develop unchecked, increasing the risk of harmful outcomes.
