Most people hear AI regulation and think danger. Smart businesses hear a massive opportunity. Here's what history actually tells us. GDPR created an entire data privacy industry. Financial regulation is exactly what built fintech. Healthcare compliance built a sector worth hundreds of billions. Every time a major technology gets regulated, a new wave of companies is born to help businesses navigate it. Right now, these categories barely exist, but they won't for long. AI compliance tooling, AI governance frameworks, AI security auditing, human-centered AI systems. The founders seeing this right now are the ones who'll be writing the case studies in 5 years.

Danger is for people who aren't paying attention. Opportunity is for everyone else. The next billion-dollar companies may be built around making AI safe and usable. Where does your business fit?
