There has been tremendous pressure on every CIO / CTO to come up with some AI success stories so that the company isn't seen as missing out on AI, so of course they have responded by rebranding traditional automation as "AI agents".

NEW: Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for mandatory AI safety testing when speaking at a gov’t conf today: “I think just public attention and the fact that employees care has created some pressure, but I do ultimately think it won’t be enough.” bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

📢NEW: 'Open' AI systems aren't open. The vague term, combined w AI hype is (mis)shaping policy & practice, assuming 'open source' AI democratizes access & addresses power concentration. It doesn't.

I really enjoyed my conversation with Machine Learning Street Talk back in December. We covered many of my recent thoughts on the need for non-agentic AI, the risks of systems with too much agency or self-preservation goals, global AI governance, and much more.

Eun Chang Choi 최은창: Africa must move from AI consumer → AI builder. We need Vertical AI + open-weight small LLMs to drive AI sovereignty, solving Africa-first problems: Agriculture, Healthcare, Banking, Anti-counterfeit & manufacturing (human-in-the-loop). Africa doesn’t need to chase

1) CORE-Bench (scientific reproducibility) gives agents two hours to reproduce the results from a scientific paper, given access to its code and data. Opus 4.1 is the first model to break the 50% barrier on CORE-Bench. GPT-5 is far behind — even behind Sonnet 3.7 and GPT-4.1.

Thank you TIME for inviting me to share my perspective on the past year in AI development. We've seen major growth in AI capabilities and risks, but as I continue working on research at LawZero - LoiZéro, I'm increasingly confident that technical solutions are possible to make AI safer

the AI debate is split into camps: doomers, ethicists, builders, pragmatists, and skeptics some want to slow everything down, some think LLMs are all just fancy autocomplete, others are convinced AGI is basically tomorrow but the weird part is we're all watching the same

Happening tomorrow!  Join us in-person or online to hear Dr Eugenia Stamboliev, Research Fellow and Lecturer in Philosophy of Technology and Media, University of Vienna, give her talk ‘A Democratic View on Trustworthy AI’. Wed 25 Feb, 13.30-14.30 GMT. Register today!

NIST just launched an AI Agent Standards Initiative for identity, security, and interoperability. AI agents are becoming economic actors with zero legal infrastructure in place. We require businesses to register to operate. Why expect less of AI agents? nist.gov/news-events/ne…

The best thing I've read on the Anthropic/Pentagon standoff is this Lawfare piece by Alan Rozenshtein: lawfaremedia.org/article/congre… The rules for military AI should not be set through time-pressured haggling. Congress needs to decide. 🧵
