Regulators are losing the game

02 August 2026

The UK AI Safety Summit last week was a masterclass in misplaced priorities. The government put safety before capability, which sounds noble. It is not. China and America kept building. The EU passed its AI Act in March, but enforcement is still years away. Meanwhile companies are shipping products that rewrite how people work. No regulator has a plan for what happens when a model can code better than a junior developer. Culture is shifting too. People are bored of the hype. They want tools that work, not another chatbot that says sorry. The real story this week is that nobody is in charge. The market moves faster than any committee. And the people who should be asking hard questions are still arguing about definitions. That will not end well. Paul
