Should AI companies be able to outsource safety?

# Quick Summary When governments require AI companies to add safety features, it doesn't just affect those companies—it reshapes how the entire industry works, potentially shifting costs and responsibilities to other businesses in the supply chain that build products on top of AI models. As the EU prepares to enforce new AI safety rules, regulators need to think carefully about whether their requirements might accidentally push safety work onto smaller companies that can't afford it, or whether they might give an unfair advantage to countries with fewer restrictions. The real challenge is making sure safety requirements are smart enough to actually protect people without accidentally making it harder for some companies to compete.
