GOLD EAGLE, established in President Trump’s June 2, 2026 Executive Order “Promoting Advanced Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Security” (EO 14409), represents a new operational model for cyber defense. This new model will leverage frontier AI ...

When AI researchers warn of extinction and tech leaders build doomsday bunkers, prudence demands we listen. Superintelligence without proper safeguards could be the ultimate expression of human hubris—power without moral restraint.

Because the point of AI safety is not to slow the future down. It is to make sure the future remains human, aligned with our values, and advancing our interests.

The initiative calls for a prohibition on the development of superintelligence until the technology is reliably safe and controllable, and has public buy-in.

The question that the noble Lord posed was: do we therefore go for a moratorium? That would be highly desirable, but I do not think that it will be possible in the short term.

What is needed is not to slow innovation but to harness it — to channel AI’s momentum toward outcomes that reinforce trust, safety and societal well-being.

We believe that in order to [avert extinction risks posed by superintelligent AI], we must secure an international prohibition on its development.

A one-size-fits-all approach to AI governance will not be effective. We all face different risks, priorities, levels of digital development, and regulatory environments. Effective governance requires shared principles that can be implemented flexibly...

There are a lot of potentially good outcomes from AI. I think the most likely outcomes are good. But the risk of bad and even catastrophic outcomes is high enough to be worth taking seriously. We should actively build safety mechanisms in case we nee...

Throwing more words and GPUs into the word-guessing program won't make it sentient. [...] one of our mares gives birth to a locomotive.

For AI to benefit all people, technology and international cooperation must move forward together.

The time has come for a more systematic approach to AI regulation — funded by the industry, staffed by world-class technical experts, and answerable to the U.S. government.

AI will reshape humanity, but its direction is not set in stone; it is ours to shape with the care and conviction that humanity’s future deserves.

AI adoption has not yet resulted in widespread job loss but instead is associated with productivity gains and employment growth in high-exposure occupations.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is having a profound impact on the UK economy and labour market, but the speed of adoption and exactly how it will affect employment is still uncertain. AI is likely to automate or augment aspects of many occupations, cha...

AI and humanoid robots break that logic because they are general-purpose. Yes, the disruption will create new jobs. The problem is that AI and robots will be able to do those new jobs too.

The bill gets the fundamentals correct. It sets one public standard – the adequate mitigation of catastrophic risk – and holds both the AI companies and their independent verifiers accountable to it.

This bill contains a critically flawed mandatory third-party audit requirement that creates an impossible compliance obligation on an unrealistic timeline.

AI technology should not be making potentially lethal decisions without human involvement.

The Government strongly believes that there is a need to maintain meaningful human control of all weapons systems, including any systems that may be developed. Our position is that, for such systems to comply with international humanitarian law, cont...

Closing it requires redesigning Army doctrine, organizations, and training to integrate LAWS into targeting under lawful human-on-the-loop control.

Safety progress takes time. If you don’t have enough time, at each stage of AI development, to ensure the AIs that you build in the next stage won’t destroy humanity, then you’ll fail, and humanity will be destroyed.

So when people predict a high degree of existential risk from AGI, I don’t actually think “arguing back” on their chosen terms is the correct response. Radical agnosticism is the correct response, where all specific scenarios are pretty unlikely. Non...

Those extreme risks are still science fiction. So these speeches are largely diversions, very deliberately crafted.

ABUNDANCE IS COMING. THE QUESTION IS WHO IT'S COMING FOR.

AI could make goods and services cheaper than ever, raising hopes for a new age of abundance where scarcity plays a smaller role in human life.

Using practical theories tested in the real world across different circumstances—as opposed to opinions or analyses based on data that does not yet exist—suggests there may be important twists ahead that should lead us to question whether a “world of...

I believe Sovereign AI is going to be one of the most important things this government does to build a better future for our country.

The EU’s ambition to triple data centre capacity is the right one. But the way to achieve that goal is by attracting investment, not shutting it out.

A compute permit system would face its own challenges: defining which training runs qualify as high-stakes, preventing developers from fragmenting workloads to stay below thresholds, and ensuring that monitoring infrastructure does not become a tool ...

According to the proposed rule, a covered US person will be required to provide quarterly reports to BIS if the US person “engages in, or plans, within six months, to engage in ‘applicable activities.’” “Applicable activities” include: “Conducting a...

A regulatory trigger calibrated to compute volume does not measure what it purports to measure, and it was designed around a snapshot of model architecture that the industry has already moved beyond.

Establishing a common definition of an “AI incident” could allow companies to report system failures anonymously through neutral platforms such as international research consortia. The goal would be not to share technology, but to understand failure ...

Rather than creating entirely new channels, policymakers should focus on ensuring that existing channels can effectively incorporate information related to frontier models and agents. Building on trusted relationships will be faster and more effectiv...
