Artificial intelligence is not just a technology, it's critical infrastructure transforming our economies. In democracy, governance requires the participation of all people.

Creating even a microscopic black hole or wormhole would require an accelerator the size of the whole universe, say researchers.

Scientists’ conclusions about risk cannot be taken at face value. Their assurances must be discounted by the probability of their own error. [...] It does not follow that LHC risk is zero: An accurate assessment of risk must include the possibility t...

Theoretical calculations show that the LHC could produce two kinds of dark matter—black holes and strange, ultradense quark matter—that are extremely dangerous, as both have been theoretically proven to swallow in a chain reaction the entirety of Ear...

No automated employment-related decision process shall be used by a deployer in making any employment-related decision without human review over such employment-related decision.

In 2023, the United States saw countless proposals to ban AI technologies, [...] hiring, [...] law soon must embrace AI; [...] prohibit human intervention [...]

Mandates that frontier AI contractors report security incidents (theft of model weights) to the DoD within 72 hours of discovery and/or report material vulnerabilities in the model or concerning behavior within 7 days of discovering the issue is mate...

artificial intelligence may support analysis, prioritization, recommendations, automation, and other decision-support functions, but may not substitute for accountable human judgment in decisions involving the use of force, detention, domestic person...

Personal view: I admire @AnthropicAI sticking by their principles but disagree with the principle itself. Putin won't fight fair so we should have autonomous AI weapons for sure.

AI should not be deployed without mandatory safeguards to ensure it is safe, accountable, and does not cause harm for anyone, of course including women and girls.

Repeated third-party audits, extensive reporting, and public disclosures may be manageable for large organizations, but for small and mid-sized employers — which make up most New York workplaces — these costs could be prohibitive.

As AI increasingly transcends borders, interoperability and compatibility of approaches cannot be achieved through isolated national efforts. They require continuous dialogue, mutual trust, and strong multilateral cooperation.

We should build on existing international work rather than creating frameworks from scratch.

Failure, in their eyes, means being left behind while AI automates large swaths of white-collar work – especially coding jobs, which until now have been a veritable licence to print money – and falling into the ranks of the permanent poor.

the evidence on how AI is affecting the labor market today is inconclusive, and claims about harmful impacts on particular groups of workers are premature.

AI upskilling initiatives are key to unlocking a productivity boost worth over £400 billion in growth by 2030. Since 2015, we’ve trained 1.2 million people across Britain, and we’re proud to continue this work to transform careers and communities in ...

Today’s announcement highlights the importance of supporting the people and organizations creating good jobs and contributing to vibrant communities across Atlantic Canada.

The report does not conclude that AI will lead to mass unemployment. The evidence is more nuanced. Labor market effects are better understood through tasks, new work creation, and job quality.

But think about it, two things can be true at the same time: AI can and must be a force for good. At the same time, it could literally eliminate many entry and mid-level jobs that are the pathway to the middle class and beyond. If that occurs, we can...

Principles are necessary, but without mechanism and measurable progress, they are not sufficient. Algeria reiterates its commitment to arriving at a just, responsible global agreement at the service of humanity.

Voluntary cooperation between the two is the only AI security approach agile enough to meet challenges as they arise without stifling innovation.

Will the Government get behind the CEO of Anthropic and back his call for a halt in development so that we can retrofit ethics at the heart of AI before it is too late

This would be practically impossible, because the economic and national security stakes are simply too high for any superpower to willingly hit the brakes now. [...] Tracking decentralized computing resources, private data centers and algorithmic res...

they are co-responsible— they have shared responsibility for paid-for content. So in this case, they have to remediate harms they contribute to.

SB-1047 holds liable [...] the original developer of that model. It is impossible [...] to predict every possible use. SB-1047 will force developers to pull back [...].

“I was proud to work alongside my colleagues and the governor’s office to deliver legislation that strikes the right balance between protecting Connecticut residents and fostering innovation,” Senator Maroney said. “This bill safeguards children from...

"Artificial intelligence is already transforming our economy, our national security and the way Americans live and work," said Congressman Scott Franklin (FL-18). " Congress has a responsibility to establish clear rules of the road that encourage inn...

National and regional AI safety institutes, technical secondments for regulators, incident reporting. And then there's a structural point. Over 40 governance instruments exist, but they're fragmented and concentrated at the corporate level. So the ga...

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...

Every one of those failures was caught not by luck, but by people whose job is to probe these systems, document what they find, and publish it.

However, it is important to differentiate regulating applications (which we need) vs. regulating the technology (which is ill-advised).
