Overview
Laws are catching up—and they’re targeting real-time compliance. In this episode, we break down the regulatory wave driving the AI safety mandate, starting with California’s SB-53. This is the first law to require developers to disclose how their AI systems detect risk as it happens—not just after something goes wrong.
It’s a turning point for AI infrastructure: compliance isn’t just legal anymore. It’s architectural.
Key Takeaways
SB-53: Passed in September 2025, it requires all advanced AI systems to demonstrate real-time safety mechanisms and report how those mechanisms work under pressure.
The Compliance Shift: Systems must show not just that they can be audited—but that they adjust behavior while operating. Logging alone isn’t enough.
Jurisdictional Impact: With 32 of the top 50 AI firms based in California, SB-53 has effectively set a national precedent for AI safety regulation.
Built for This: Tools like the Inhibitor are designed to integrate directly into agent workflows to meet these requirements, offering structured oversight and documented intervention pathways.
