The HKS analysis shows the governance window is being used in a concerning direction: bilateral negotiations between governments and tech companies are becoming the de facto governance mechanism, operating without transparency or accountability. The mismatch is not creating space for better governance—it's creating space for opaque, power-asymmetric private contracts that bypass democratic processes entirely.

Kat Duffy frames 2026 as the shift from AI speculation to operational reality, stating 'Truly operationalizing AI governance will be the sticky wicket of 2026.' The challenge is not governance design but implementation - regulatory frameworks are colliding with actual deployment at scale. This extends the 'mismatch' claim by identifying the specific phase: governance frameworks exist but operationalization lags deployment, creating an 'operationalization problem' distinct from the design problem.

The CFR article confirms US/China strategic divergence as the dominant governance dynamic, with Horowitz emphasizing US engagement in 'standard-setting bodies' to counter China's AI governance influence. The governance mechanisms being implemented (US 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' appropriating billions for Pentagon AI priorities, China's Cybersecurity Law amendments) are explicitly geopolitical, not safety-focused. This confirms that the most binding governance actions target competition, not capability constraints.

Third-party pre-deployment audits are the top expert consensus priority (>60% agreement across AI safety, CBRN, critical infrastructure, democratic processes, and discrimination domains), yet no major lab implements them. This is the strongest available evidence that voluntary commitments cannot deliver what safety requires—the entire expert community agrees on the priority, and it still doesn't happen.

Michael Horowitz (CFR fellow) explicitly states that 'large-scale binding international agreements on AI governance are unlikely in 2026.' The governance that IS happening is enforcement of existing frameworks (EU AI Act with penalties up to €35M or 7% of global turnover, China's amended Cybersecurity Law, US state-level rules). This confirms the pattern: binding regulation with enforcement teeth (EU, China, US states) is proceeding while voluntary international coordination fails.
