Q&A

De La Rosa asks Kim about AI regulation and SpaceX safety protocols

New York City Council · Oct 16, 2026 · starts 1:35:26 · 1 min 11 sec

De La Rosa asks whether SpaceX's safety protocols align with regulations for space exploration and other areas; Kim says current laws and regulations around AI development are deeply inadequate.

Member of the Public - Devin Kim

Well, I will again note that there is a significant gap in the model card or sort of safety documentation that in the releases that XAI puts out.

Member of the Public - Devin Kim

And I think the sort of explanation that.

Member of the Public - Devin Kim

Well, we started later and we haven't had as much time doesn't really work anymore, given that meta who, you know, started later and the AI race and was able to build a team fairly quickly

do have the higher safety standards that I mentioned earlier in the testimony.

Carmen N. De La Rosa

Yeah, understanding legal constraints, and maybe you weren't working on this, but another part of her testimony this morning was about how, of course, we're safe.

Carmen N. De La Rosa

We're launching rockets.

Carmen N. De La Rosa

Do you believe that, you know, there are safety protocols?

Carmen N. De La Rosa

Are in line with regulations for the type of space exploration and other things that the company is exploring at this time?

Member of the Public - Devin Kim

I believe that the current set of laws and regulations around AI development are deeply inadequate.

Carmen N. De La Rosa

Great.

Carmen N. De La Rosa
