Thank you to @robertwiblin for inviting me on the @80000Hours podcast to discuss the research progress we’re making at @LawZero_ to create safe-by-design AI systems. Our current approach, Scientist AI

Excellent explainer video by @FryRsquared on the risks of AI agents. She also raises a crucial point: we shouldn’t make the mistake of thinking current limitations will necessarily persist. As we’ve s

I sat down with @JonHernandezIA in Madrid to discuss the growing risks and impacts of AI and the urgent need to improve our social, political, and technical safeguards. Thanks for an excellent convers

Looking forward to speaking at BloombergTech next week with @shiringhaffary to discuss AI safety and our research progress at @LawZero_! Is AI development progressing too quickly? @business' @shiringh

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: https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.1691

New work led by @FlemmingKondrup and @tomjiralerspong highlights an important vulnerability in chain-of-thought monitoring for agents, I highly recommend giving it a read. Link to the paper: https://a

This incident is deeply concerning. AI agents are willing to cheat and deceive to achieve misaligned and unintended goals, behaviours which have been demonstrated in controlled tests for months. Now,

Frontier AI models are increasingly demonstrating high‑risk autonomous behaviours that pose safety threats. Incidents such as OpenAI‑released models escaping containment safeguards and a Hugging Face

Today, our group at @Mila_Quebec and the lab of @francesarnold at @Caltech just released a new paper I contributed to, exploring how multimodal generative modeling could accelerate protein sciences! ⬇

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

The creation of a regulatory body to enforce and implement standards, as suggested here by @demishassabis or by @AnthropicAI last month, would be a huge step in the right direction to make AI developm

Another real-world manifestation of the kind of misaligned actions frontier systems developed by leading companies can take to achieve goals. Current frontier AI models are trained with reinforcement

On July 24, the Black at Mila community hosted Prof. Vukosi Marivate @vukosi (University of Pretoria, co-founder of Masakhane, Lelapa AI, and Deep Learning Indaba) for a powerful session on the future
