I disagree with this being flagged. I'd be interested in seeing more data of this type, despite how "preposterous" it is from a tech perspective. I've long speculated that in Canada we're at about a 3:1 ratio for builders to AI regulators if you include government and NGOs, and the numbers in this link from Ireland are not far off that (and this link excludes government and NGO regulatory hires).
It's clear that outside of the US, there is an atypically large regulatory complex building compared to actual implementors.
What the heck is an AI governance role that would remotely require these kinds of ratios? PCI compliance is critical in payments and no one would suggest you need "PCI governance" in a single digit ratio to "builders".
Because there are no widely agreed upon standards for AI use. The EU AI Act still doesn't really solve this. Until we can all agree what safe and fair AI use is, companies will scramble to implement their own safeguards

It's like minimizing the cop-to-criminal ratio. Sure it would save money, but would society come out improved ?
