Welcome to the AGI Era of AI Governance
Original: Welcome to the AGI era of AI governance

Writing in Interconnects, Nathan Lambert declares that AI governance has entered the AGI era — a transition he frames as a one-way door society passed through without adequate preparation.

Lambert's core contention is that the frameworks, institutions, and norms designed to manage AI risk were not ready when the threshold arrived.
