Why Deploying Physical AI at Scale Demands Safety at Every Layer
Physical AI is moving rapidly from research to large-scale deployment. By 2035, ABI Research projects an installed base of 49 million level 3-5 autonomous vehicles (AVs), while Omdia estimates that roughly 60 million industrial robots will be deployed between 2026 and 2035. As these machines enter roads, factories, warehouses and other environments shared with people, […]
Building standards for the next phase of AI
OpenAI outlines a path to shared global AI standards, calling for coordinated evaluation, reporting, and governance to improve safety.
Humans, not rogue AI, are still the biggest cybersecurity risk to energy systems
Before recent high-profile hacks raised the specter of AI possibly "killing all humans," our energy systems were already disturbingly vulnerable to cyberattack - and the risk is growing. "We were always prey. We were just kind of surviving at the appetite of our predators," Joshua Corman, executive in residence for public safety and resilience at […]

Dario Amodei and other AI leaders want to ‘Pace the Frontier’ but…how?
A week after an Anthropic researcher’s doomsday warning rattled the AI world, the company’s CEO Dario Amodei has outlined his plan to “pace the frontier” of AI development. The proposal leans on independent safety evaluators and coordination between AI labs in democratic countries, and it’s already picked up some industry support, along with some pointed pushback from Nvidia’s Jensen Huang. Watch […]
Automattic’s 33-Hour Coup, and can AI labs police themselves?

Coding Agents with an Obstacle-Aware Harness for Safe Robot Manipulation
Coding agents have emerged as a promising paradigm for robot manipulation: a language model writes the robot controller as a program, and agents built in this way now operate robots without robot-specific training.Whether this paradigm is also safe, however, has not been asked. We evaluate coding agent under a safety constraint, where each task pairs a manipulation goal with an obstacle the robot must not touch. The agent pursues the goal but collides with the obstacle in most cases, treating task completion as its sole objective while neglecting safety. The agent reasons about the obstacle in
Harm Laundering in GPT Models: Evidence That Gender Discrimination Is Transformed Rather Than Reduced Across Safety-Trained Generations
Safety evaluations for large language models rely on surface-form classifiers that report declining harm scores across model generations. We provide evidence that this methodology is systematically incomplete: explicit discriminatory content is transformed rather than removed. We call this \emph{harm laundering}. Analysing 450,000 gender-directed completions across 15 models spanning GPT-2 through to GPT-5 (OpenAI GPT lineage; three demographic conditions), we show that sexual violence clusters prevalent in GPT-2 women-directed output disappear by GPT-4, while men-directed completions gain pos
OPTED: On-Policy Fine-Tuning for End-to-End Driving using a Render-Free Teacher
As scaling pre-training data alone yields diminishing returns, post-training is becoming increasingly important across physical AI domains such as autonomous driving. End-to-end driving policies are pre-trained in open loop with behavior cloning on human demonstrations. However, compounding errors during closed-loop deployment can take the vehicle outside the training data distribution, increasing the risk of safety-critical incidents. Closed-loop post-training can mitigate this risk but requires costly simulation for sensor-based policies. We propose OPTED (on-policy fine-tuning for end-to-en
Custom PX4 firmware for autonomous hybrid aerial-marine missions
Mapping and monitoring aquatic environments can benefit from hybrid aerial-amphibious drones able to combine flight and water-surface navigation within the same mission. This paper presents a PX4 firmware extension for such platforms, introducing manual and autonomous marine navigation modes integrated with the standard PX4 mission pipeline and QGroundControl interface. The proposed framework preserves existing flight functionalities and safety mechanisms while enabling unified planning and execution of hybrid aerial-marine missions with differentiated aerial and marine waypoints. Simulated ca
SAFARI: An Industrial Benchmark for LLM-Assisted Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly considered for safety-critical engineering, yet their reliability in regulated functional-safety workflows remains underexplored. We introduce SAFARI (Safety-Aware Functional Automotive Risk Inference), the first industrial benchmark for LLM-assisted automotive Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment (HARA) under ISO 26262. It contains 3,000 de-identified industrial HARA cases and evaluates two coupled tasks: open-ended hazard analysis and standards-grounded risk assessment. To evaluate open-ended HARA artifacts, we propose the first reference-anchored
NS3Learn: Transferring 5G NR Mode-2 Reception Realism from ns-3 to the Veins/SUMO Stack for Connected-Vehicle Safety Assessment
Connected-vehicle safety evaluations rely on coupled traffic and network simulations, but standard channel models ignore radio resource competition in 5G NR sidelink Mode-2, reporting unrealistically high message delivery in dense traffic. This study introduces resource-competition losses without requiring full protocol reimplementation. We labeled 10.5 million reception outcomes from ns-3 5G-LENA traces (calibrated on 3GPP scenarios and driven by SUMO trajectories) to fit NS3Learn - a closed-form model capturing half-duplex loss, scheduling collisions, receiver capture, and decoding. Evaluati

Time-Efficient Iterative Learning Planning for Safety-Critical Dynamic Obstacle Avoidance
Autonomous mobile robots require timeefficient planning and safety-critical dynamic obstacle avoidance under constrained onboard computation. While Iterative Learning Planning (ILP) offers lightweight and efficient traversal planning, it lacks explicit mechanisms for dynamic obstacle perception and avoidance. This article extends ILP to safety-critical navigation in dynamic environments by integrating an anticipatory risk-blended control barrier function (ARB-CBF). The extended ILP learns traversal-speed and steering-bias profiles via a fractionalpower update based on local obstacle risk, gene
Local Sparsity Enables Unsupervised LLM Safety Detection
Deployment-time safety methods for large language models (LLMs) are predominantly supervised and assume access to unsafe training data. Nevertheless, new attacks and harm categories regularly arise, not captured by models trained in such a supervised fashion. An alternative approach is to view this problem through the lens of anomaly detection, namely, to rely solely on modeling safe data and flagging out-of-distribution inputs. However, LLM activations lie in a high-dimensional space, raising concerns about whether anomaly detection is statistically feasible. We show that, under the linear re
QoS-Aware Federated Learning for Multimodal In-Cabin Interaction in Smart Vehicles
Modern smart vehicles leverage multimodal sensors, ranging from high-bandwidth vision systems to low-rate physiological monitors, to provide personalized in-cabin services. However, integrating high-fidelity multimodal fusion with collaborative training is often hindered by the heterogeneous and time-varying Quality of Service (QoS) constraints of vehicular networks. Standard Federated Learning (FL) approaches enforce rigid synchronous rounds that fail to account for these resource asymmetries, leading to safety-critical timing violations and energy exhaustion. In this paper, we propose FedQoS
