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

The industry is moving too quickly to adequately guarantee its products are safe.

Organizations should evaluate consequential actions against the agent’s assigned task, the sensitivity of the data involved and the potential impact. Higher-risk activities, such as exporting confidential records or modifying production systems, shou...

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.

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 ...

AI could make the world a whole lot richer. But it could also put millions of people out of work while funneling even more wealth into the pockets of just a few tech giants. [...] The proposal is to tax AI companies’ profits or revenue and use the pr...

Europe should establish a public artificial intelligence research centre that takes on everything private Big Tech has no interest in doing. [...] Like CERN and the European Space Agency, the European centre for AI research should not be confined to ...

I urge the Commission to deny Club for Growth’s request to permit noncommercial political calls to wireless numbers using artificial or prerecorded voices, including AI-generated voices, without prior express consent. Removing that safeguard would in...

Dialog Lab does not generate, recommend, or support decisions involving any of the following: [...] Hiring decisions. Requests of this kind are declined, and users are redirected to the appropriate human review pathway.

Well, let me be clear. Hacking of a government website, hacking of a private sector website — if your product does that, you are responsible.

Turns out, we were being unnecessarily pessimistic. Even though the planet is on fire, extreme temperatures will not be the ones to knock us out of the evolutionary game. (So much for our soggy paper straws.) Instead, we’ve decided to build something...

Which is why US lawmakers put forward legislation, dubbed the ‘Kill Switch Act’, which would require companies to have a way to shut down problematic AI tools. Tragically, the proposal was quickly shot down.

The aggregate outcome of AI's impact on global employment is likely net positive over the long term.

Third, embedding addresses a real information problem. Frontier AI risk assessment depends on non-public facts such as training details, internal monitoring data, and incident records. An evaluator that can see only what the developer chooses to send...

Just because you’ve developed a new drug doesn’t mean you can put it on the market. You have to persuade the FDA. That takes about a billion dollars’ worth of work. That is at least the requirement that should be demanded of AI.

Alignment is supposed to be hard too, and it may well be. But the usual arguments assume we can’t see inside models. We assume we get one training setup, and it has to be right in advance. If we can read and understand the system, maybe we can make s...
