According to Sawyer Merritt, Elon Musk is currently speaking live at the World Economic Forum, where he is addressing the critical need for global AI regulation and ethical frameworks to manage rapid advancements in artificial intelligence technology (Source: Sawyer Merritt on Twitter, Jan 22, 2026). Musk emphasizes the business impact of AI on industries such as automotive, finance, and manufacturing, highlighting both the risk of unregulated AI and the market opportunities for companies that prioritize ethical AI development. The session showcases the growing importance of cross-border collaboration and proactive policy-making for sustainable AI industry growth.

According to @timnitGebru, prominent AI ethicist and founder of DAIR, the AI industry repeatedly harasses women who call out bias and ethical issues, only to later act surprised when problems surface (source: @timnitGebru, Twitter, Nov 20, 2025). Gebru’s statement underlines a recurring pattern where female whistleblowers face retaliation rather than support, as detailed in her commentary linked to recent academic controversies (source: thecrimson.com/article/2025/11/21/summers-classroom-absence/). For AI businesses, this highlights the critical need for robust, transparent workplace policies that foster diversity, equity, and inclusion. Companies that proactively address gender bias and protect whistleblowers are more likely to attract top talent, avoid reputational risk, and meet emerging regulatory standards. As ethical AI becomes a competitive differentiator, organizations investing in fair and inclusive cultures gain a strategic advantage (source: @timnitGebru, Twitter, Nov 20, 2025).
