Trump plan to test AI models has a problem—US security teams were gutted by DOGE

On Tuesday, Donald Trump finally signed his executive order expanding the government’s efforts to conduct voluntary safety testing of frontier AI models. Now, critics are warning that the order may be short-sighted, offering only performative reassurances that the government is actively monitoring for AI risks, while changing very little about how and when models are […]

Breaking the Black Box: From Traditional QA to AI Assurance and Governance

I recently had the opportunity to review IMDA’s Starter Kit for Testing LLM-Based Applications for Safety and Reliability. As someone who has spent over 14 years in Quality Assurance, I was curious to see how established testing principles are being adapted to address the unique challenges introduced by Large Language Models (LLMs). What I expected

This week, the Trump administration back pedaled and signed agreements with Google DeepMind, Microsoft, and xAI to run government safety checks on the firms’ frontier AI models before and after their release. Previously, Donald Trump had stubbornly cast aside the Biden-era policy, dismissing the need for voluntary safety checks as overregulation blocking unbridled innovation. Soon

OpenAI could have prevented one of the deadliest mass shootings in Canada’s history, a string of seven lawsuits filed Wednesday in a California court alleged. Ultimately, the AI company overruled recommendations from its internal safety team. More than eight months prior to the school shooting, trained experts had flagged a ChatGPT account later linked to

The US-China AI gap closed. The responsible AI gap didn’t

The assumption that the US holds a durable lead in AI model performance is not well-supported by the data, and that is just one of the uncomfortable findings in Stanford University’s 2026 AI Index Report, published this week. The report, produced by Stanford’s Institute for Human-Centred Artificial Intelligence, is a 423-page annual assessment of where

The rise of Moltbook suggests viral AI prompts may be the next big security threat

On November 2, 1988, graduate student Robert Morris released a self-replicating program into the early Internet. Within 24 hours, the Morris worm had infected roughly 10 percent of all connected computers, crashing systems at Harvard, Stanford, NASA, and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The worm exploited security flaws in Unix systems that administrators knew existed but
