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

Employment — screening, ranking, advancing, or rejecting candidates; hiring; promoting or demoting; setting or changing shifts, hours, or pay; evaluating a worker’s performance or behavior, including through disciplining, suspending, or terminating a...

On each in-scope decision, a runtime measurement, the Semantic Deviation Index quantifies how far the agent's resolved meaning sits from the authorized one. A Deterministic Gate turns that measurement into an enforced decision before execution author...

AI adoption is fueling net workforce growth.

Proponents argue that by wrapping AI agents in a corporate shell with legal personality one can overcome this infirmity. [...] In truth, AI agents are already legible under current legal frameworks and it is not necessary to grant them personhood. [....

Independent third-party AI auditors will act like financial accounting firms: investigating and verifying safety protocols and legal compliance. They’re a critical part of the safeguards needed around powerful frontier AI models.

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...

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...

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...
