Google DeepMind’s Ayoub says companies can fence AI in, like banks did

Kareem Ayoub of Google DeepMind compared AI governance to how banks in the 1980s-90s fenced trading algorithms with fixed rules, suggesting companies can build deterministic perimeters around AI systems though not fully govern them. He highlighted the gap between AI's frontier capabilities and its current business uses, noting a shift to agent-based AI products since late 2025 and emphasizing safe, iterative deployment and leadership engagement.
