The technology industry has embraced the idea of keeping humans involved in consequential AI decisions. It sounds like a sensible safeguard: Let the AI perform the work, require someone to approve important actions and maintain a clear line of accountability. But as autonomous agents become faster and more capable, the...
What If AI Isn’t a Black Box? The Discovery That Could Change How We Govern It
For years, one of the most persistent challenges in artificial intelligence has been our limited understanding of what happens inside neural networks. We know how models are trained, can observe their outputs and can measure their performance, but explaining precisely how millions or billions of internal components produce complex behavior...
When AI Defends Against AI, Who Controls the Defender?
Cybersecurity is entering a period in which attackers and defenders increasingly rely on the same technology. AI agents can search for vulnerabilities, test potential exploits and coordinate attacks with far less human intervention than previously required. Security companies are responding by developing autonomous systems that continuously examine infrastructure, identify weaknesses...
