Can AI Regulation Keep Pace With Innovation? | Lisa Martin on Schwab Network
Updated: Oct 8
AI innovation is accelerating. The harder question is whether regulation, security and public trust can keep pace.
Lisa Martin joined Schwab Network’s The Watch List on September 28, 2026 to discuss the increasingly fragmented approach to AI regulation, what that uncertainty could mean for the technology industry, and how companies can strengthen AI safety without unnecessarily slowing innovation.
Why AI Regulation Is Becoming a Business Issue
As governments, technology companies and industry leaders wrestle with how AI should be governed, Lisa emphasized the tension between two legitimate priorities: continuing to innovate quickly while creating meaningful safeguards around increasingly capable AI systems.
The conversation also came as NVIDIA introduced its Open Agent Safety Platform, an open software platform and reference design intended to provide governance, runtime controls and continuous monitoring for AI agents from testing through deployment.

For Lisa, developments like this point to a broader issue facing the industry: trust.
As AI systems become more autonomous and gain greater access to enterprise data, software and infrastructure, organizations will need stronger mechanisms for monitoring behavior, enforcing permissions and intervening when something goes wrong.
The Schwab conversation also explored the international dimension of AI development, including the different approaches being taken around the world and the challenge of pursuing technological leadership while establishing safeguards that can work across borders.
The central question isn’t whether AI innovation should continue. It’s how companies and governments can create enough trust, security and accountability for that innovation to scale responsibly.
