A great initiative from AI pioneer and safety advocate Yoshua Bengio, that I had the pleasure to meet at École Polytechnique in January: the launch of LawZero, a non-profit dedicated to developing solution for “safe-by-design” AI systems. At a time when many are lured by Big Tech’s El Dorado, it’s heartening to see a…

One of the most overlooked questions leaders should be asking today is “Where is AI already being used, without formal approval or visibility?” In many organizations, AI adoption doesn’t begin with a top-down directive. It starts in the margins:• A product manager using ChatGPT to draft briefs• A financial analyst cleaning data with LLMs•…

When systems like Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4 call authorities or refuse user requests that appear unethical or illegal, it’s more than a quirky safeguard. It’s a call to ask: Whose interests should AI serve? What does “aligned with humans” mean when human goals are ambiguous, conflicting, or even harmful? 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐀𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐨𝐯 𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: 𝐇𝐨𝐰…

3 nuggets heard from Meta’s CEO Zuckerberg on the great perspectives AI is opening up for the company: 1. “we’re going to get to a point where you’re a business, you come to us, you tell us what your objective is, you connect to your bank account, you don’t need any creative, you don’t…

To assess whether artificial intelligence (AI) can be helpful in a given task, it’s useful to consider two dimensions of work: conceptual complexity and data processing intensity. At the simplest level, low conceptual complexity and low data requirements, we find tasks like basic arithmetic. These are straightforward and have long been automated. As we move up the…

While Microsoft’s report, coming from a leading player in AI and based in part on survey data, presents an optimistic view of AI adoption, it also outlines interesting decision points for companies and a generic roadmap.
