For the past two years, the #AI race has been about building the most powerful model. Now something unexpected is happening. The people leading that race are starting to agree on one thing: intelligence alone isn’t enough. When companies competing for the future begin asking for common safety standards, it tells us we’re entering a completely different chapter. The conversation is no longer just about who builds the fastest model. It’s about who earns the trust to deploy it. History shows that every transformative technology eventually needs standards. AI is simply reaching that moment much faster than anyone expected.
