And how the 21st century’s most important social movement might yet end it

Such research poses risks for humanity and the planet

Ten years after AlphaGo’s match against Go champion Lee Sedol, today’s AI still isn’t tapping into the machinery that made that win possible.

Chiara Towne in conversation with Meredith Whittaker is president of the Signal Foundation.

In a series of private meetings, the company consulted religious scholars to help instill morality into its A.I. models — and make the case that Claude could be conscious.

Lucky @dioscuri - I’m still waiting for the first bot asking me for a job…

The firms most exposed to China are suffering. But many are adapting

The gap between technology and policymaking has gotten wider than ever with artificial intelligence, leaving a global policy vacuum as A.I. models rapidly advance.

Christophe Fouquet has built Europe’s biggest business through a total monopoly over the most advanced chipmaking equipment

A machine can close the act on kilograms. It cannot own the refusal. The stop has to live in a person who can halt the arm.

The company did not learn until recently that its technology had meddled with websites for the Education and Commerce Departments and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Initial effects of the technology on employment look positive

Bringing clarity to a fuzzy P(doom) debate

A weld, a pick, and a shipment are still a chain. Name what goes in and what must come out. Pick two chains that share a part number — not two cells that share a slide.

LLMs and Agentic AI are non-deterministic - i.e.useful in a lab, but a liability in a firm that has to be insured, and held to account

From aviation to banking, high-risk industries are subject to independent oversight and meaningful penalties. AI companies should be no exception.

AI lab took months to spot the problem, which Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called ‘obviously unacceptable’

AI transformation safety is a binding problem: the digital twin must be able to prove it is talking about this vial, this wafer, this implant.

Agentic AI is the on-ramp to physical AI: Autonomous systems that act on goods need a root of trust for the object.

A machine builder’s first AI agent project is about guardrails: inventory, leases, evaluation, rollback, a named gate - allowing agents to run

The unit of AI transformation is the workflow, not the role - The firm is not being automated. Coordination is.

The more of the core you invite into the twin, the more clay you pour into the cut. Adidas and the Evolut Strategy are the same argument in two dialects.

The 70% question tells you which line is exposed. It does not tell you which two acts inside that line to rebuild first.

Governments are still, alas, asleep

Summary. In order to effectively study the impacts of cyber incidents that affect international relations and security in the interconnected global society

The first two AI transformation workflows in machinery and plant engineering - applied inside a Maschinen- und Anlagenbau firm

Markets were signalling discomfort even before the latest wave of worries about existential risk

The human contribution sits above the OODA cycle: yes or no, and the reasons that cannot be reduced to a score. That’s a job.

A twin that runs beside the core is interesting because, after a stated window, someone can retire a path on evidence.

Why Not to Cower in the Face of Gloomy Tech Predictions

From mass-produced drones to semi-autonomous interceptors, innovation has been the hallmark of Ukraine’s defence against Russia. But now Russia is innovating, too. Although the front line is stable, m...

On @DarioAmodei's (likely half-sincere) AI Slowdown proposal ... a hard no from me and from reality.

AI Agents cheapen coordination in two directions. That does not dissolve the firm. This coordination cost forces a split.

No bathrobe. No rant. The AI threat.

You cannot transform a legacy company from the inside. Write that fact as a mandate, not as a line on the homepage.
