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!

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.

C'est un grand honneur d’avoir reçu cette semaine l'insigne d'officier de l'Ordre national du Québec. Il reste beaucoup de chemin à parcourir pour s’assurer que l’IA soit développée pour le bien commun et c’est encourageant de pouvoir compter sur le soutien du Québec dans cette mission.

Je suis ravi d’être à Québec aujourd'hui pour recevoir mon insigne d’officier de l'Ordre national du Québec, accompagné de Daniel Jutras, recteur de l'Université de Montréal.

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/...

I’m in Madrid this week for the first in-person meeting of the United Nations Independent International Scientific Panel on AI. I'm thrilled to be part of this distinguished group of 40 international experts appointed to provide an evidence-based scientific assessment of the state of AI.

This must-see new documentary is arriving in theatres this week. Through an honest and personal lens, Daniel Roher successfully highlights how each of us can move from passive observation to active contribution towards a more positive future with AI. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkPb...

Looking forward to this panel discussing the key findings of the International AI Safety Report at the India AI Impact Summit tomorrow! I’ll be joined by Josephine Teo, @alondra.bsky.social, Adam Beaumont and Lee Triedrich.

I am honored to have been appointed to the UN' International Independent Scientific Panel on AI. I look forward to working alongside global experts to advance scientific understanding and ensure that international deliberations are informed by the best available evidence. www.un.org/independent-...

Because no single safeguard reliably prevents misuse or malfunctions, developers are converging on "defence-in-depth,” layering multiple measures—model-level training, input/output filters, monitoring, access controls, and governance. (17/19)

However, safeguards remain imperfect. Attackers can still often find ways to evade them fairly easily. One initiative crowdsourced over 60,000 successful attacks against state-of-the-art models. When given 10 attempts, testers can still generate harmful responses about half the time. (16/19)

Since the last Report, we’ve seen new evidence of many emerging risks. For example, AI-generated content has become highly realistic and more useful for fraud, scams, and non-consensual intimate imagery. There is growing evidence that AI systems help malicious actors carry out cyberattacks. (10/19)

These capabilities are increasingly translating into real-world impact. At least 700 million people now use leading AI systems weekly. In the US, use of AI has spread faster than that of computers and the internet. (8/19)

On capabilities: AI systems continue to improve significantly. Leading models now achieve gold-medal performance on the International Mathematical Olympiad. AI coding agents can complete 30-minute programming tasks with 80% reliability—up from 10-minute tasks a year ago. (6/19)

AI poses an “evidence dilemma” to policymakers—capabilities evolve quickly, but scientific evidence emerges far more slowly. Acting too early risks entrenching ineffective policies, but waiting for strong evidence may leave society vulnerable to risks. (3/19)

Today we’re releasing the International AI Safety Report 2026: the most comprehensive evidence-based assessment of AI capabilities, emerging risks, and safety measures to date. 🧵 (1/19)

Merci à HugoDécrypte pour l'invitation à faire un tour d'horizon des risques de l'IA ainsi que des solutions nécessaires pour se diriger vers une meilleure trajectoire.

I’m pleased to share the Second Key Update to the International AI Safety Report, which outlines how AI developers, researchers, and policymakers are approaching technical risk management for general-purpose AI systems. (1/6)

Geopolitical competition leaves AI bridge powers in a difficult situation where they’ll soon likely face insurmountable barriers to independent frontier AI development. To stay relevant and thrive economically, they need to work together and strategically choose their AI development approaches.

I was very honoured to receive the Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering from His Majesty King Charles III this week, and pleased to hear his thoughts on AI safety as well as his hopes that we can minimize the risks while collectively reaping the benefits.

Thank you to @financialtimes.com for the invitation to speak at today's FT Summit and to Cristina Criddle for the excellent discussion. We touched on AI's early signs of self-preservation and deceptive behaviours, as well as the technical and policy solutions on the horizon.

Thank you to the University of Copenhagen, the European Commission @ec.europa.eu, and my co-panelists — Lene Oddershede, Max Welling, Peter Sarlin & @fabiantheis.bsky.social — for a day of excellent discussions.

Europe has a chance to shape a safer and more values-aligned future for AI innovation, and needs to. This was my main message at the AI in Science Summit in Copenhagen today. I also presented Scientist AI, LawZero's approach to create technical guardrails and help accelerate scientific discovery.

It was a pleasure speaking at the Munich AI Lecture Series last week to present the risks of uncontrolled AI agency and the opportunities we have to create technical and policy solutions.

Thanks @marietjeschaake.bsky.social for a great discussion today at the Paris Peace Forum. We got to cover both technical and policy topics, from the research being done at @law-zero.bsky.social to build technical solutions for safe-by-design AI systems to the importance of European AI sovereignty.

Frontier AI could reach or surpass human level within just a few years. This could help solve global issues, but also carries major risks. To move forward safely, we must develop robust technical guardrails and make sure the public has a much stronger say. superintelligence-statement.org

AI is evolving too quickly for an annual report to suffice. To help policymakers keep pace, we're introducing the first Key Update to the International AI Safety Report. 🧵⬇️ (1/10)

Ce fut un plaisir de discuter avec Daron Acemoglu des impacts sociaux, politiques et économiques de l’IA sur scène hier à Montréal. Toutes mes félicitations à Daron Acemoglu pour son doctorat honoris causa de l'UQAM. www.ledevoir.com/economie/923...

It was an honour to speak at the United Nations this week to address the UN Security Council on the impacts of AI on international peace & security, and to join the high-level multi-stakeholder informal meeting to launch the Global Dialogue on AI Governance.

Very pleased to be speaking with Harry Booth next week at #ALLIN2025, Canada’s premier AI event. We’ll be discussing some of the biggest topics in AI right now during the keynote session titled “AI at a Defining Moment: Ensuring Safety Through Technical and Societal Safeguards.” allinevent.ai
