Safety

As AI systems gain autonomy, oversight, security and physical capacity become harder to separate. OpenAI’s approach to reporting model misalignment and Anthropic’s account of autonomous cyber operations put those risks in focus, while sovereign-AI consolidation and data-centre energy flexibility expose the infrastructure decisions behind deployment. The edition also looks at proposed remedies in ad tech, where control over platforms and access to competition remain contested. In this edition — jump to a story ...

Turning AI ambition into working systems requires more than model advances. Today’s stories examine the gap between safety debate and coordination, Anthropic’s plans for computing capacity in Australia, and Factory’s push to measure what coding agents actually deliver. European inference hardware and a new Google Ads benchmarking tool complete the picture: infrastructure choices and performance measurement matter well beyond the model itself.
