What's new in AI governance, safety, jobs and society

AI may be a great calculator, but in business, intelligence is mostly judgment. AI does not understand accountability, trust, culture, unwritten rules, ethical trade-offs or fairness, all of which shape reputational risk and ultimately drive revenue ...

If Dario's predictions had come true, we'd all be unemployed today. Chicago has news for him: Here, companies are doing real things. AI has actually led to more hiring, not job cuts. Amodei is wrong.

Open-weight models have been a boon for defenders. When Hugging Face investigated how OpenAI-powered agents penetrated its systems, proprietary models refused some of the forensic work, but the Chinese open-weight model GLM-5.2 helped reconstruct the...

Without effective human judgement and control, these systems increase the risks of miscalculation and escalation, lower the threshold for the use of force, and erode compliance with international humanitarian law (IHL). The decision to employ nuclear...

It's actually impossible to control it unless we think the entire world is going to sing kumbaya and say let's slow down, which as you said is unlikely. So if that's the case, fine. You put slowdown here maybe. Well, okay. Does it mean Japan slows do...

The AI Biosecurity Lab will be a major new global institution bringing together world-leading scientific expertise to keep the country safe.

External evaluators should be embedded at AI companies, but they should not be restricted to AI safety researchers, and they should not be selected by the company being evaluated. Rather, they should represent communities across society, address a mu...

Silicon Valley promises to make AI benevolent. That may be technically impossible.

Unsolicited, AI-generated robocalls to voters’ cell phones — when both robocalls and AI have a proven track record of spreading lies and can be particularly deceiving when combined — aren’t just a nuisance; they’re downright dangerous for our democra...

This presentation examines how agentic profiles strain the PDPO’s definitional gateways, rejects the fix of granting AI agents legal personhood, and proposes that protection should turn not only on who the data is about, but on what it can do.

We Must End AI-Powered Mass Surveillance, Not Switch Vendors. [...] ALPR’s don’t need a marketing rebrand – they need to be banned.

A Global Call for AI Red Lines, launched at the UN General Assembly in September 2025, calls for categorical prohibitions on what an AI system may be built or used to do and presses governments to conclude a binding international agreement.

Governments should be prohibited from using AI systems for mass surveillance. The right to privacy is a fundamental right we outline in our Declaration of Digital Rights. Data brokers and negligent data practices have allowed large amounts of persona...

We need labels on AI-generated election content and we need to hold accountable those who use AI to knowingly spread false information. Pairing the latest technology with old-school dirty tricks is a dangerous combination. I’m proud to introduce the ...
