AI industry rivals rarely agree, but they’re all concerned their technology could be used to develop biological weapons.
As the Federal Government Rushes Toward AI, Here Are Three Cautionary Tales — ProPublica
We’ve been reporting on cybersecurity for years. As President Donald Trump and his Cabinet say artificial intelligence will transform the nation, the messaging isn’t new. It follows a familiar pattern.
Rethinking security for the age of AI - The Official Microsoft Blog
Editor’s note: Updates with additional details on the model’s crash score. Why security needs a new cyber stack — Introducing Project Perception The physics of cybersecurity are changing. Autonomous systems can now reason, adapt and operate continuously. At the same time, the cost of offense is falling, while the volume, velocity and complexity of what...
The ecology of AI risk
Understanding the risk from applications of artificial intelligence (AI) is a critical part of creating AI governance strategies. Building on the idea of studying AI using ecological and evolutionary perspectives, we propose a novel approach for assessing risk from AI using indicators derived from theoretical ecology models. We illustrate our methods by deriving 3 indicators from population and ecosystem models originating from theoretical ecology. We conclude with a discussion of limitations of our analysis and considerations for improving AI governance policy.

Microsoft’s AI Red Team Has Already Made the Case for Itself
Since 2018, a dedicated team within Microsoft has attacked machine learning systems to make them safer. But with the public release of new generative AI tools, the field is already evolving.
Measuring AI’s capability to accelerate biological research in the wet lab
OpenAI introduces a real-world evaluation framework to measure how AI can accelerate biological research in the wet lab. Using GPT-5 to optimize a molecular cloning protocol, the work explores both the promise and risks of AI-assisted experimentation.
A Safe Path to Open Weights
Strategic openness can strengthen AI safety and support broader access as defenses and safety science mature.
An End-to-End View of AI Safety
In this blog, Rachel Coldicutt OBE, Executive Director, Careful Industries discusses our newly published literature review on the safe adoption of artificial intelligence in engineered systems.
Deterrence with Mutual Assured AI Malfunction (MAIM) — Chapter 4 of Superintelligence Strategy
Chapter 4: Deterrence with Mutual Assured AI Malfunction (MAIM). Rapid advances in AI are beginning to reshape national security. Destabilizing AI developments could rupture the balance of power and raise the odds of great-power conflict, while widespread proliferation of capable AI hackers and virologists would lower barriers for rogue actors to cause catastrophe.
AI agents pose untold risk to humanity. We must act to prevent that future | David Krueger
The pieces are falling into place for autonomous artificial intelligence. We must stop unregulated development
AI And Cybersecurity: A Glass Half-Empty/Half-Full Proposition, Where The Glass Is Holding Nitroglycerin
First, some of the good news: certain AI models—currently Anthropic’s Mythos, but surely others are well on their way if they haven’t already arrived—turn out to be really good at findi…
Autonomy and Innovation
Incentives favor offense when it comes to agentic cybersecurity; it’s the same dynamic that will limit incumbents and fuel startups in the long run.
AI Researchers On AI Risk
I first became interested in AI risk back around 2007. At the time, most people’s response to the topic was “Haha, come back when anyone believes this besides random Internet crackpots.…
