Wheeler calls for enforceable AI oversight
Tom Wheeler argues that AI oversight needs defined standards, evaluator independence and authority over releases.
Date16 Sept 2026
Writing on September 16, former FCC chair Tom Wheeler argues that acknowledging risks is insufficient without enforceable oversight. He calls for decisions about evaluator selection, qualifications, funding, standards and powers, including authority to delay or deny model releases. His argument specifies what an oversight system should do, rather than describing powers already granted to Amodei’s proposed evaluators. Tom Wheeler · Brookings
