Zuckerberg Rejects Coordinated AI Slowdown, Says Labs Can Act Alone

Zuckerberg's stance reframes AI safety as a competitive and liability problem rather than a collective-action one, which sidesteps the coordination question regulators have been pressing. It matters because it signals that at least one major lab will not wait for industry-wide consensus, and it puts the onus on individual developers' internal processes. The open question is whether voluntary, lab-by-lab restraint holds when competitive pressure intensifies.
