Hugging Face CEO Says Existing Internet Laws Likely Enough to Regulate Advanced AI

The claim is notable less as a policy proposal than as a signal of where parts of the open-model ecosystem want the regulatory line drawn: under existing internet frameworks rather than AI-specific statutes. That position favors incumbents already fluent in those rules and could complicate the push for bespoke AI regulation, since it reframes the debate as enforcement capacity rather than new lawmaking. Whether this view gains traction with regulators weighing new rules is the open question.
