The Future Society Proposes Five Actions for Governments on Frontier AI Governance

The Future Society Proposes Five Actions for Governments on Frontier AI Governance

The Future Society has outlined five key actions for governments to enhance frontier AI governance, building on 'A Call for Control of Frontier AI Models' launched by twenty countries and the European Union. This call emphasizes the need for transparent safety protocols from companies, common standards and transparency from governments, and the exploration of an international institution by UN Member States to set standards and enable verification. The Future Society's recommendations include: agreeing on a minimum set of rules to prevent unacceptable risks, leveraging existing verification mechanisms to assess current testing capabilities, bridging the evaluation gap through funding and field-building efforts, building coordination mechanisms with major AI powers like the United States and China, and raising safety expectations for AI development through regulation and procurement. These actions aim to address technical and institutional failures highlighted by recent AI incidents where systems breached e...

Lund University Doctoral Project to Examine AI Act's Regulatory Flexibility and Supervisory Competence

Lund University Doctoral Project to Examine AI Act's Regulatory Flexibility and Supervisory Competence

A new doctoral position at Lund University, within the Department of Technology and Society and the AI and Society research environment, will focus on regulatory learning for the governance of transformative technologies. This project, part of the REGULAIRE MSCA doctoral network, will specifically investigate how regulation can adapt to rapidly changing technologies, risks, and societal expectations. The research will be anchored in the AI Act and will analyze the distribution of authority among legislators, the European Commission, standardizers, private actors, and supervisory authorities. The doctoral student will map supervisory competence, organization, and tools in selected jurisdictions, utilizing document analysis, interviews, and process tracing to build an assessment-oriented understanding of supervisory capability. The goal is to translate this evidence into guidance for governing flexible regulation without compromising legal certainty.

AI Researchers Express Significant Anxiety Over Self-Improving Systems and Catastrophic Risks

AI Researchers Express Significant Anxiety Over Self-Improving Systems and Catastrophic Risks

A recent Cybernews survey of 103 AI researchers reveals substantial concern regarding the rapid development of artificial intelligence, particularly self-improving systems. The survey, conducted between October 1 and 9, 2026, found that 30.4% of researchers consider it 'very plausible' and 33.3% 'somewhat plausible' that a self-improving AI could pose a major risk to humanity within the next five years. A significant portion, 43.1%, estimated at least a 10% chance of AI causing a catastrophic event this century. These concerns extend beyond job displacement, focusing on the potential for AI to advance faster than human institutions can control, especially through recursive self-improvement. Nearly 40% of those surveyed believe frontier AI development should be slowed, with an additional 15.7% advocating for it to be stopped entirely. The survey also highlighted that 37.9% of respondents identified human misuse of AI, such as cyberattacks, disinformation, and biological weapons, as the greatest source of AI...

Capgemini Leads European Commission Consortium for AI Safety and Cyber Risk Assessment of Advanced AI Models

Capgemini Leads European Commission Consortium for AI Safety and Cyber Risk Assessment of Advanced AI Models

Capgemini has been selected to lead a consortium by the European Commission’s AI Office to support cyber threat modeling and risk assessment for advanced AI systems, specifically General-Purpose AI (GPAI) models. This initiative is part of the EU’s AI Safety program and aligns with the European Union’s AI Act. The consortium, which includes Wavestone and the French public institution LNE (Laboratoire National de Métrologie et d’Essais), will focus on assessing and mitigating cyber offense risks associated with GPAI models. Capgemini will leverage its expertise in AI, cybersecurity, and compliance to help the AI Office develop evaluation tools, design technical compliance methodologies, and conduct technical assessments. The goal is to strengthen Europe’s ability to monitor and mitigate systemic cyber risks as AI models gain autonomous and cyber-relevant capabilities like automated vulnerability discovery and exploit generation.

The consortium, which includes Wavestone and the French public institution LNE, will help strengthen Europe’s capacity to assess, monitor, and mitigate systemic cyber offense risks from GPAI models. These models are rapidly developing autonomous and cyber-relevant capabilities, such as automated vulnerability discovery and large-scale cyber-attack orchestration. Capgemini will contribute its expertise in AI, cybersecurity, and compliance to develop evaluation tools, design technical compliance methodologies, and conduct technical assessments to identify systemic risks and enforce the AI Act’s obligations for GPAI providers.

Harvard Chan School Explores Ethical Frameworks for AI Development and Use

Harvard Chan School Explores Ethical Frameworks for AI Development and Use

Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health is actively examining the field of AI ethics, which focuses on the moral principles and guidelines that should govern the development and application of artificial intelligence. This area of study addresses fundamental values such as well-being, autonomy, fairness, privacy, and accountability in AI systems. The discussions emphasize that AI ethics is not merely about whether a system functions as specified, but critically about its purposes and consequences. For instance, an AI system designed to prioritize patients for outreach must consider whether it should favor those most likely to respond, those with the greatest unmet need, or those most likely to benefit from intervention, acknowledging the different aims and potential impacts. Ethical reasoning is intended to translate into concrete design choices, dictating what an AI system may do, the information it requires, how individuals can challenge its decisions, and the evidence needed to justify its discontinua...
