A peer-reviewed article published in the Seattle University Law Review examines how AI and emerging technologies are creating structural mismatches with existing corporate governance and regulatory frameworks. The article identifies three phenomena: the blurring of firm boundaries through externally provided AI services, strategic resource access without ownership, and the dual role of online platforms as both market facilitators and market participants. The authors argue that current governance frameworks are poorly equipped to address these shifts.

The article argues that these mechanisms may still permit unsafe incentive structures and weak accountability, raising questions about whether fiduciary duties and board independence are sufficient to enforce safety-oriented governance at frontier AI developers.
