'If OpenAI rises to the occasion we could significantly reduce risk,' said Christiano. 'If OpenAI rises to the occasion we could significantly reduce risk,' said Christiano. OpenAI not on track to reduce risk of'catastrophic' loss of control, says board member US government adviser Paul Christiano warns of risks to AI industry as he joins OpenAI's non-profit foundation OpenAI is not on track to reduce the risk of "catastrophic" loss of control to an acceptable level, a member of its non-profit board has said, amid spreading public and political concern that super-advanced AIs could one day wipe out humanity. Paul Christiano, a US government technology adviser, said: "There is a meaningful risk that rapid acceleration in AI capabilities leads to catastrophic and irreversible loss of control in the very near term." He added: "I do not think that the AI industry in general, including OpenAI, is currently on track to reduce this risk to an acceptable level." Christiano used to run model alignment at OpenAI and made the statement on Wednesday as he joined the board of the San Francisco company's non-profit foundation.

A new report from the nonprofit Reflective lays out the experiments needed to better understand our ability to dim the sun. A San Francisco nonprofit has published a detailed road map of the experiments, studies, and infrastructure that it says would be needed to make informed decisions about the use of solar geoengineering, can reveal. Scientists have now spent half a century exploring the possibility that we could counteract climate change by releasing reflective particles into the stratosphere, mimicking the cooling effects of volcanic eruptions. But even after at least hundreds of studies on the concept, known as stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI), big gaps remain in the scientific understanding of how well it would work and what else it might do--and there has been no systematic plan for clearing up that uncertainty. Reflective, a research organization that funds studies on solar geoengineering, has today attempted to fill that gap with the release of its SAI Research Roadmap . "Our mission is to equip the world with the data and tools required for informed decision-making about sunlight reflection fast enough to matter," says Dakota Gruener, the organization's cofounder and chief executive.

Healthcare AI's next test is integration While advanced AI excels at processing clinical data, healthcare's true test lies in overcoming deeply fragmented administrative workflows. The entrance of major AI companies into healthcare is a meaningful and welcome development, accelerating the technical foundation available to the industry. Their models are increasingly capable of processing long clinical records, interpreting complex terminology, comparing documentation against evidence and generating coherent summaries from large volumes of information. For clinicians, operators, and administrative teams who spend significant time searching through fragmented data, these advances are helping reduce cognitive burden and make high-value information easier to access. But healthcare leaders should not confuse model capability with operational capability. Healthcare's administrative challenges are caused by fragmented information, fragmented workflows, and fragmented accountability, not a lack of information.

Apple needs to learn to take risks again. Steve Jobs used the catchphrase to introduce the original iPhone in 2007. In his 15 years running the company, Tim Cook deployed it only a handful of times, including before his 2014 announcement of the Apple Watch. Today, nine days into his tenure as Apple's CEO, John Ternus said the magic words. Apple's next big invention, the company revealed at a launch event in Cupertino, is a $2,000 iPhone that sports--get ready--a "remarkable hinge." This is the iPhone Duo, a foldable gadget that opens like a book to reveal a capacious 7.6-inch screen.
