🤖✨ New report with @partnershipai.bsky.social! AI agents pose new risks. Monitoring is essential to ensure effective oversight and intervention when needed. Our paper presents a framework for real-time failure detection that takes into account stakes, reversibility and affordances of agent actions.

✨New Analysis✨ Can the new EU AI Code of Practice change the global AI safety landscape? As companies like Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google sign on, CSET’s @miahoffmann.bsky.social explores the code’s Safety and Security chapter. cset.georgetown.edu/article/eu-a...

Yesterday's new AI Action Plan has a lot worth discussing! One interesting aspect is its statement that the federal government should withhold AI-related funding from states with "burdensome AI regulations." This could be cause for concern.

⚖️ New Explainer! Effectively evaluating AI models is more crucial than ever. But how do AI evaluations actually work? In their new explainer, @jessicaji.bsky.social, @vikramvenkatram.bsky.social & @stephbatalis.bsky.social break down the different fundamental types of AI safety evaluations.

💡Funding opportunity—share with your AI research networks💡 Internal deployments of frontier AI models are an underexplored source of risk. My program at @csetgeorgetown.bsky.social just opened a call for research ideas—EOIs due Jun 30. Full details ➡️ cset.georgetown.edu/wp-content/u... Summary ⬇️

Today, @csetgeorgetown.bsky.social published our recommendations for the U.S. AI Action Plan. One of them is a CSET evergreen: implement an AI incident reporting regime for AI used by the federal government. Why? Short answer: because we can learn a ton from incidents! Long answer: 👇

What does the EU's shifting strategy mean for AI? CSET's @miahoffmann.bsky.social & @ojdaniels.bsky.social have a new piece out for @techpolicypress.bsky.social. Read it now 👇

Mia Hoffmann and Owen J. Daniels from Georgetown’s Center for Security and Emerging Technology say Europe's apparent shift on AI policy could change the global landscape for AI governance.

If you’ve ever wondered what the EU and elephants have in common - or are wondering now- read my latest piece with @ojdaniels.bsky.social! We take a look what the EU’s new innovation-friendly regulatory approach might mean for the global AI policy ecosystem www.techpolicy.press/out-of-balan...

There have been a ton of AI policy developments coming out of the EU these past weeks, but one deeply concerning one is the withdrawal of the AI Liability Directive (AILD) by the European Commission. Here’s why:

@miahoffmann.bsky.social , @ojdaniels.bsky.social, and I wrote a piece on key AI governance areas to watch in 2025 with the upcoming AI Action Summit in mind. Check it out here! thebulletin.org/2025/02/will...

Will the Paris #AIActionSummit set a unified approach to AI governance—or just be another conference? A new article from @miahoffmann.bsky.social, @minanrn.bsky.social, and @ojdaniels.bsky.social.

With the government portion of the AI Action Summit next week, @minanrn.bsky.social, @miahoffmann.bsky.social and I wrote for @thebulletin.org about some key AI governance questions for the year ahead thebulletin.org/2025/02/will...

Yesterday, the EU AI Act’s first few provisions came into effect. The General Provisions and the prohibitions of unacceptable risk AI systems are applicable from now on. Here’s what that means:

US leadership in AI has been a goal of the past Trump & Biden administrations. But that concept of leadership focused too much on “AGI” and too little on AI diffusion. The DeepSeek release - a model that was immediately widely adopted - is a reminder to adjust these priorities. Here’s why:

As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/
