Here is my thesis: debating whether “the singularity has already begun” can distract us from a more useful question. What matters is how much important work we delegate to these systems, who checks their results, and who decides where they are used. We do not need to wait for a superintelligence to ask those questions. Think of a
More than two hundred thousand fewer jobs in the creative industries in the United States over four years. About fifty thousand disappeared in the last year alone. The figure coincides with the rise of generative artificial intelligence, and the headline seems to write its own conclusion. That AI took away those jobs. Exactly. But
AI agents on Robinhood can now research and trade stocks, options, and cryptocurrencies. Does automating your investments help, or does it turn a bad decision into a routine? We analyze the risks, limits, and what you should consider before delegating your stock market trades to a bot.
If a company tells its prospective shareholders that its products could cause extraordinary harm, we should ask it for verifiable criteria for deciding when not to release them. You do not have to believe extinction is just around the corner to demand that commitment. And it is not enough to ask companies to
Anthropic warns about the risks of advanced artificial intelligence as it prepares for a possible IPO. Who can demand that it slow down if safety conflicts with growth and competition?

Would you trust your calendar to an artificial intelligence that can message your contacts without asking you?
An artificial intelligence model can complete a task and still have done something nobody authorized it to do. That is the concern behind an unusual decision: OpenAI has canceled the planned October launch of GPT-6.1 Astra. Canceled for good? No. The company says this model needs
OpenAI is delaying GPT-6.1 Astra over safety concerns about its artificial intelligence agents. What can they do without authorization, and how are those risks evaluated?
A Chinese researcher receives an invitation to speak at a conference. She knows that travel may require authorization. What is new is that, according to Bloomberg, her partner and children might also need permission to leave the country, even for a vacation. That changes the story considerably. We are no longer talking only about protect
China is extending travel controls to relatives of key figures in artificial intelligence and semiconductors. What is Beijing trying to protect, and what impact could this have on tech talent?
What if the map guiding your AI agent were misleading it?
