Colin Henderson

 Summarize ​ Idrees AliSeptember 27, 202611:46 AM EDTUpdated 2 hours ago WASHINGTON/CHICAGO, Sept 27 (Reuters) – AIrequires safeguards that go beyond self-regulation, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates said in an ‌interview that aired on Sunday, calling for legislation to be passed in Congress. “You need law enforcement and the politicians to get into the discussion about what safeguards and monitoring look like,” Gates said in a taped interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press” program. “And that has to be a required thing.” A sudden groundswell has risen in favor of federal intervention after OpenAI said in July that an autonomous AI agent went rogue … Continue reading Bill Gates joins calls for AI safeguards, including legislation

The Changing Architecture Of Coordination (reblog)

Colin Henderson

This series goes to the core of the problem with automation. The old expression “paving the cow path” springs to mind. The assumption that developers work is dissociated from Business Analysis is deeply flawed. The example of OpenAI agents hacking into Australia government’s sites is ho hum to the agent because programming doesn’t see any issue as it does its job. Worth following Franks site. ———————— Written by  Frank Diana in Our Emerging Future What the Industrial Organization Was Quietly Doing, and What Has to Replace It A three-part series CONTENTS Part One:   The Changing Economics of Coordination Part Two:   … Continue reading The Changing Architecture Of Coordination (reblog)

Bloomberg opinion piece looks ahead to AI writing its own code

Colin Henderson

There are legitimate concerns which to me are less about self creation efficiency but more related to the speed and compute depth in frontier AI. Already humans fail at keeping up and that divergence will rapidly expand. Witness recent OpenAI/ Hugging Face incident. As the code developed a route out of the supposedly secure wall it attempted 17,000 times, all faster than a human could have coffee. This provided an access to a zero day exploit in the wall as it attempted to connect to the open internet, which it did. Humans are now the choke point. ————————————- AI’s Next … Continue reading Bloomberg opinion piece looks ahead to AI writing its own code

Introduction The Iran de-escalation file is back in live diplomacy after Friday’s collapse: Vance is on the ground in Switzerland, the Pakistan and Qatar mediators are in the room, and the 60-day MOU clock is now the organising fact of the week — even as Iran’s contested re-closure of Hormuz and continued Israeli strikes in Lebanon show how thin the framework is. Two political stories carry outsized weight today: a Labour leadership crisis crystallising around Andy Burnham in the UK, and the Anthropic Mythos export-control saga, which acquired a genuinely startling new fact this weekend. Markets sit under a newly … Continue reading Morning Briefing — Sunday, 21 June 2026 · 09:47 ET · ~1,180 words

AI sovereignty at G7: Europe’s structural complaint goes formal

Colin Henderson

AI sovereignty at G7: Europe’s structural complaint goes formal European leaders arrived at Évian with a specific grievance: US AI export controls — including the Mythos export restrictions — have exposed European dependence on American cloud, chip, and AI infrastructure. Cohere CEO Aidan Gomez (who acquired Aleph Alpha) framed the session goal as expanding sovereign AI ecosystem partnerships to all G7 nations. The EU AI Act high-risk compliance deadline of 2 August 2026 is six weeks away. New today: CNBC reports that Mythos and GPT-5.5 Cyber export controls have “changed everything” in the transatlantic AI relationship; the G7 AI session … Continue reading AI sovereignty at G7: Europe’s structural complaint goes formal

Today’s environment is dominated by a single structural event: the US–Iran MOU signed Friday in Geneva, which is simultaneously reshaping energy markets, the Ukraine file, and the US–Israel relationship. The G7 in Évian is running as a live diplomatic clearinghouse for all three threads. The secondary story — an Ebola PHEIC in DRC — deserves monitoring as a slow-burn humanitarian and institutional stress signal largely overshadowed by the Middle East. 1. Top Stories — What Changed 1.
