Moderna Founder Calls for Urgent Regulation of AI Agents

Moderna co-founder Noubar Afeyan has urged lawmakers to implement proactive regulations for autonomous AI agents before their widespread deployment leads to public safety incidents. He argues that waiting for a catastrophic event to occur would be a preventable mistake, mirroring historical oversight failures within the pharmaceutical industry. By advocating for oversight now, Afeyan aims to establish safety frameworks that govern these emerging technologies before they become deeply integrated into critical sectors.
