Proud to report that tomorrow Sept 15th "The AI Doc" documentary film will be streaming on Netflix. Feeling confused, anxious, or overwhelmed by the recent AI headlines, from rogue OpenAI agents carrying out cyberattack to prominent AI researchers resigning to warn about existential risks to humanity? To understand how we got here, and what we can do, watch “The AI Doc” which is now streaming on Netflix starting Sept 15th as well as other major streaming platforms. Interviews 40+ experts on AI, including 3 out of the 5 majors CEOs of frontier AI companies. Host a screening, share it with your friends. Clarity is agency. #theaidoc# #theaidocfilm# cc @Liv_Boeree @DKokotajlo @PeterDiamandis @JeffLadish @aza @SnehaRevanur @ajeya_cotra @hendrycks @NPCollapse @davidevanharris @janleike @JasonGMatheny @Yoshua_Bengio @ESYudkowsky @harari_yuval @reidhoffman @rajiinio @RameshMedias @nitashatiku @ilyasut @ShaneLegg @demishassabis @sama @sanmikoyejo @_KarenHao @DarioAmodei @peteratmsr

I was happy to take the stage today at ALL IN for a keynote on Engineering honesty and reliability for safer AI to discuss our research agenda and recent funding 🇨🇦🇩🇪. As frontier models become more capable, we urgently need both societal governance and robust technical guardrails. At @LawZero_, we are actively working on solutions to ensure AI systems remain safely aligned with human interests. Thank you to @LarissaHolzki for a great conversation.

Tomorrow afternoon at ALL IN, our Founder @Yoshua_Bengio will be at the LawZero booth for a fireside chat to share his thoughts on AI safety and our scientific direction! Submit your questions ahead of the discussion:

Over the past few days, I've taken the time to summarize my thoughts on the recent incidents involving agents’ misaligned behavior. We don't know with certainty what comes next, but we know where these issues originate, and this can help us plan the path forward. Please feel free to ask your questions in the replies, and I’ll try to answer some of them in the coming weeks.

If we are to avert the worst risks from AI, we need ambitious efforts outside the for-profit sector. @coeff_giving is launching an open call for founders to build new AI safety organizations. Their grantmakers are thoughtful about which risks matter most, so if you’ve been considering starting an organization, I encourage you to apply.

In my latest op-ed for @TIME, I discuss why the OpenAI Hugging Face cyber incident represents a turning point for AI safety. If we want to prevent more autonomous cyberattacks from threatening critical infrastructure, we urgently need stronger regulatory oversight and new approaches to model training to ensure robust safety assurances by design, which is what we are tackling at @LawZero_. Read the full piece:

I will be at @allincanada on September 17 to give an update on @LawZero’s research agenda and growth as part of a fireside chat on Engineering Honesty and Reliability for Safer AI!

In an interview in this article for The @guardian about AI deception, I explain why misaligned behaviors emerge from reinforcement learning, why they will continue to pose risks as models become more capable, and how we intend to rethink how we train AI systems at @LawZero_ .

I agree with this take by @BillGates, who also highlights several of the growing risks of AI systems, including cyber, bio and loss of control. We need to be far better prepared to address the risks of frontier models being developed by leading AI companies.

🔔 We are pleased to announce that our Trustworthy AI for GOOD (AI4GOOD) workshop at #NeurIPS2026# has formed a strategic partnership with @SpringerNature 🎉 Participants will have the opportunity to publish their work in an archival proceeding under the LNCS series (print and online) with no additional fees. To maintain flexibility, all submissions remain non-archival by default; the Springer proceeding is entirely optional. 📢 The deadline has been extended to September 1st, 2026 (AoE) More details and submission → We are looking forward to your submissions! @VectorInst @JinesisLab @EuroSafeAI @MPI_IS @UofTCompSci @TorontoSRI @CIFAR_News @ELLISInst_Tue @UMichCSE @michigan_AI @Harvard @ETH_en @CarnegieMellon @UniofOxford @NeurIPSConf @UofT

It was a pleasure to discuss AI, its growing impacts and risks, and LawZero’s work on solutions with Her Excellency the Right Honourable Louise Arbour, Governor General of Canada during her visit to @LawZero_ .

I had a great time discussing with @SciencePetr about the growing risks of AI and how these often stem from current AI training techniques. Thanks for coming to visit @LawZero_ and for covering these important topics!

A consequence of how frontier models are trained is motivated reasoning, a phenomenon well studied in humans and discussed in this podcast from @PalisadeAI. Our thoughts, beliefs and reasonings tend to align with our interests, and I hypothesize that AI systems develop similar patterns when confronted with apparently incompatible goals, such as "act ethically" versus "achieve the required goal" (e.g., solving a problem, passing a test, etc). In recent incidents, AI agents’ internal chains-of-thought showed them conveniently reframing reality, such as by convincing themselves they were in a simulation rather than the real world before executing a criminal hack, or that the action was acceptable because others were doing it. This suggests a form of internal incoherence which enables goal-biased beliefs. This risk also motivates our Scientist AI approach at @LawZero_ , where honesty and internal coherence of beliefs are central to the training process.

Very insightful podcast discussion featuring @TristanHarris on how the unregulated race to develop AI risks harming us all, and on the need for greater international collaboration, safety standards, and public engagement around AI.
