🚨🚨🚨 Anthropic Calls for Global AI Freeze 🚨🚨🚨 Anthropic, the worlds most valuable artificial intelligence start up, has shocked the tech world by calling for an immediate global pause on advanced AI development. Valued at nearly one trillion dollars and now ahead of OpenAI, the company behind Claude warns that cutting edge models risk escaping human control. They propose suspending work on more powerful systems if rivals agree, giving society time to build safeguards and alignment research. This bold move highlights growing fears of superintelligent AI and self improvement loops that could outpace humanity. As AI transforms every industry, from coding to decision making, the race for dominance raises urgent questions about safety and ethics. Will this pause gain traction or will competition push boundaries further. A critical moment for the future of artificial intelligence and global regulation. What are your thoughts on pausing frontier AI development.

Palantir Technologies UK CEO Louis Mosley is trying to bully his way into Britain's public services by turning every contract it loses into a political fight. On BBC Radio 4's Today programme, he accused the elected politicians who resist of being the ones playing politics. The company he runs in the UK was started by Peter Thiel, who said "technology is this incredible alternative to politics," a way to "change the world without having to constantly convince people." On the same programme, Mosley said "I would not want to live in a world where self-appointed, unelected tech bosses can decide which government polices can actually be delivered and which can’t". He's describing his boss's philosophy as a nightmare. A broken clock is right twice a day. In 2025, Mosley refused to help build the UK's digital ID system because, he said, it hadn't appeared in a manifesto. As an unelected tech boss he decided an elected government's policy shouldn't proceed. His claim that Palantir won't work with Russia or China for ethical reasons follows US policy and Palantir's alignment with Washington, not ethics. Mosley presents himself as above politics, yet politics dominates almost every interview and most of the media follows his lead. Palantir wins government contracts by recruiting the people who oversee them. Since 2012, at least 32 former UK officials, ministers, intelligence chiefs, and peers have joined or advised the company while securing billions in government work. The official who co-wrote Britain's military AI strategy now advises Alex Karp. A former chair of the committee responsible for scrutinising Palantir later advised Palantir. Mosley accused Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan of "putting politics over public safety" for blocking the Metropolitan Police deal, and when a Commons committee identified the NHS contract as a security risk, he accused them of "putting the politics of the playground before public services". He used the rape of women by police officers to argue that Palantir should win a £50m contract. That tells you more about the company than any analysis of its technology could. The BBC interviews him constantly, The Evening Standard publishes his op-eds, Times Radio and GB News give him airtime, and the Financial Times covers Palantir extensively. None ask hard questions. Editors can be afraid to cover hard truths when they're embedded with the most powerful people in the world. Either way, we're not seeing balanced coverage. The Guardian is one of the few publications willing to challenge Palantir with investigative journalism. Palantir's coverage works as propaganda by keeping the debate on procurement and away from what they do and where their loyalties lie: deportations run through ICE, and operations by the Israeli military in Gaza and Iran. A company built to route around democracy is presented to the public as a supplier of "just software," and many outlets that should be investigating that claim are helping sell it.

🚨 Meta calls it Name Tag. 👁️ We call it surveillance. Meta wants to put facial recognition technology into its Ray-Ban and Oakley smart glasses. Internally, they call the feature "Name Tag." Here's what Name Tag could do: anyone wearing a pair could point them at a stranger, in a clinic, at a protest, at a bus stop, in a bathroom, and walk away with a digital dossier that calls out: 🪪 Name 🏠 Address 💼 Workplace ❤️ Relationships 🏥 Medical visits 💳 Financial records 🌐 Political activity Everything a stranger never agreed to share, lifted in the time it takes to glance at someone. This is not a bug in the product, this is the product. And Meta knows it. According to reporting on a leaked internal memo, Meta wanted to launch Name Tag during what it called a "dynamic political environment," banking on civil society groups being too busy to push back. Surprise: we noticed, and we're pushing back. Seventy-five organizations, including AJL, signed an open letter this month telling Meta to drop it. Senators are demanding answers. The fight is on. More tomorrow. We're not just telling you about this fight, we're in it. And we need you in it too. 📣 Want to stand with us? Join the movement at newsletter.ajl.org #EyewearNotSpyware

We're incredibly delighted that our founding director Prof. Markus Krebsz has been able to contribute and is a named co-author in this very important AI Risk study by MIT FutureTech. Please check out the paper as well as the companion website, which is a treasure trove of information. All of this complements our forthcoming book on Enterprise-wide AI Risk Management® (EW-AiRM®) very nicely and you can see our take on the findings and linkage to the book here: https://lnkd.in/eNxBqd35

BBNJ Clearing-House Mechanism Introduction The High Seas Treaty (BBNJ) just entered into force in January 2026 🌊 And here's what most people don't know: Its success depends on a Clearing-House Mechanism—a digital platform that will become the backbone for ocean governance beyond national jurisdiction. This is where ScubaVerse's Marine DPI work intersects with global treaty infrastructure. The BBNJ Clearing-House Mechanism (CHM) will: 🗂️ Register marine genetic resource activities 📊 Share environmental impact assessments 🤝 Enable capacity-building and technology transfer 🔗 Connect gene banks, databases, and research repositories But here's the challenge: #SIDS need the capacity to CONTRIBUTE to this system, not just consume from it. That's why our Marine Digital Twin platform (bbnjchm.com) is designed to feed SIDS-generated reef data directly into the CHM—ensuring island nations are DATA CREATORS in the treaty's implementation. Governance infrastructure only works when those most affected can actively participate.

UN STI Forum Panel - IAAI/Glocha Side Event Earlier this month, I had the privilege of speaking at the UN STI Forum (Science, Technology & Innovation) 🇺🇳 As a UN delegate for IAAI/Glocha, I joined a panel discussing how digital public infrastructure can accelerate the Sustainable Development Goals—particularly for Small Island Developing States. The conversation focused on three critical questions: 1️⃣ How do we ensure SIDS aren't just "beneficiaries" of technology—but active co-creators? 🏝️ 2️⃣ What role does Marine DPI play in implementing treaties like BBNJ? 🌊 3️⃣ How can virtual tourism revenue fund climate resilience infrastructure? 🪸 My key message to the room: "#Governance must come before deployment. #DataSovereignty isn't optional—it's foundational. And AI should amplify local expertise, never replace it." Watch the full panel discussion on the UN website and check out my intervention here: https://lnkd.in/egf3kkMq Grateful to IAAI/ GloCha Global Challenges Action Network and Miroslav Polzer for creating space for these conversations, and to the delegates from 80+ member states who've shaped ScubaVerse's governance-first approach and Dr. Philbert Aaron for helping to lead on multilateral alignment. This is what multilateral collaboration looks like when #SIDS lead. #UnitedNations #STIForum #DigitalPublicInfrastructure #SIDS #MarineDPI #SDGs #BlueEconomy #OceanGovernance #BBNJ #IAAI #Glocha #ScubaVerse
