Coxon’s AI Warning Is Mainstream. Now What?

A Forbes contributor uses departed AI researcher Jacob Coxon's warning about the power of AI technology as a springboard for a lengthy meditation on whether artificial intelligence needs constitutional-style checks, comparing it to kings and empires who insisted their power was safe.

The essay argues that the real question isn't whether AI is safe but who has legitimate authority to define, exercise, and judge algorithmic power, framing this as legislative, executive, and judicial questions nobody is asking.

No new reporting or facts are offered beyond the framing; the piece is analysis built entirely on quotation and historical analogy.
