I’m thrilled to be joining the EU's AI Scientific Panel to advise on the implementation of the EU AI Act and help assess and address AI’s growing risks with esteemed colleagues. digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/...
An interesting new paper by my recent PhD graduate on how AI agents' greed for visible incentives can lead them to abandon their safety alignment. You can read it here: arxiv.org/abs/2606.16914

Recent commentary
We are at a turning point: many of the decisions we make about AI today will permanently shape our future. Governments and the public need to clearly understand the impacts, risks, and opportunities of AI to make the right choices to reap its collective benefits while mitigating its major harms.
As the UN’s Global Dialogue on AI Governance wraps up today, I’ve been encouraged by the discussions surrounding AI and its implications for global collaboration and policymaking. I’m hopeful that we can keep building on this momentum to steer AI development on a safer path!
