But who'll be watching the watchers?

 Tech executives have pressed lawmakers to keep regulation light on artificial intelligence, claiming internal guidelines will suffice. Recent proposals in Congress have stalled amid lobbying from major firms, leaving oversight largely in private hands. The stakes are high because AI systems now influence everything from hiring to national security. What could possibly go wrong?
