Princeton's PACMAN framework can predict and prevent plasma instabilities in a tokamak roughly 200 milliseconds before they develop. The more important story isn't its speed: AI can be given real control over a machine without being allowed to change its physical safety limits.
Google has opened its smart home ecosystem to third-party AI agents. The most interesting part isn't what it allows, but where it draws the line: agents can read the state of a smart lock, but unlocking the door is blocked at the server level.
OpenAI introduced a framework on September 16 for reporting model misalignment incidents and disclosed six cases. All six were observed during training. What matters may be less the incidents themselves than the reporting model OpenAI is beginning to adopt.
