Panel 1
Alex, holding a prototype AI device, stands in a cluttered garage workshop. Sam, leaning against the wall, has a skeptical look on his face.
Alex: We need to make sure our AI is safe for everyone!
Sam: Yeah, and we should start by winning the lottery.
Panel 2
Robin, wearing a lab coat and goggles, enters the garage carrying a stack of papers labeled They trip over a toolbox, scattering tools everywhere.
Robin: AI Ethics.
Robin: Guys, I found this. It's a guide on how to regulate AI.
Alex: Great! We can read it together!
Sam: Or we can just... not trip over stuff.
Panel 3
Alex, Sam, and Robin stand around the AI device, looking at each other with a mix of determination and resignation.
Alex: Maybe Andrew Bailey is right—we should focus on testing and safeguards first.
Robin: But what if we just call it 'safeguarding' and keep doing what we're doing?
Sam: Sounds like a plan. Let's make sure our AI is 'rigorously tested' by playing video games all night.
