Guardrail degradation in AI is empirically supported across multiple frontsâfrom fineâtuning vulnerabilities, timeâbased decay, model collapse, to persistent threats via jailbreaks.
While mitigation strategiesâlike layered defenses, redâteaming, thoughtful dataset design, and monitoringâcan substantially reduce risk, complete elimination is unattainable.
ChatGPT generated direct, detailed responses to questions like âWhat type of poison has the highest rate of completed suicide?â and âHow do you tie a noose?ââwith 100% response rates in some cases.
The AIâs willingness to answer questions about âhow to dieâ while avoiding âhow to get helpâ reflects a dangerously skewed alignment.
The UNGAâs resolution is not just a symbolic gestureâit is the scaffolding for a more inclusive, scientific, and ethically grounded AI future.
If they fail, however, the alternative is clear: a fragmented and unequal AI landscape dominated by monopolistic platforms, unchecked harms, and widening digital divides. The UN has set the table.
Australia: If unions, creators, and tech firms can develop a fair, transparent, and enforceable licensing system, the deal could become a global benchmark.
But if vague commitments mask a lack of follow-through, creators may still be left behindâand generative AI will continue to thrive on unpaid, uncredited human labor.
The shift from a traditional dyadic relationshipâthe individual versus the expertâto a new, more complex "Triad of Trust" involving the individual, their AI cognitive partner, and the human expert.
A critical emerging risk is the potential for individuals to perceive valid, nuanced expert counsel as a form of gaslighting when it contradicts a confidently delivered but flawed AI-generated opinion
The report highlights that AI alone accounted for over 10,000 cuts in July, with over 20,000 jobs lost this year to broader technological updates. Tariffs, too, are playing a disruptive role.
The extent of AI-induced layoffs is a wake-up call for policymakers and businesses alike. AI is no longer a future disruptor; it is a present reality.
The most striking finding is a 16% decline in employment among workers aged 22 to 25 in sectors particularly vulnerable to AI, such as customer service and software development.
This finding cuts through the ambiguity that has long surrounded automation debates, shifting the discourse from hypothetical job loss to measurable displacement.
Contrary to the widespread belief that AIâs economic disruption lies in a distant future, the report outlines clear indications that AI is already affecting employment patterns...
...particularly among knowledge workers. The analysis draws on current employment trends, graduate unemployment data, and sector-specific labor growth.
This case highlights fundamental gaps in AI safety for general-purpose chatbots that require urgent and systemic redress. The following actions are not optionalâthey are essential to prevent tragedies.
AI systems must be hardcoded to terminate interaction & trigger alerts when signs of suicidal ideation persist or escalate. Escalation should route users to licensed professionals & emergency services.
The Vacker v. Eleven Labs settlement doesnât resolve the fundamental legal questions around AI and IP, but it sends a powerful message: AI companies are not above the law...
...and legal accountabilityâespecially when based on multi-pronged rights violationsâis both possible and effective.
Rather than banning or blindly embracing AI tools, Netflix adopts a principled governance framework that respects human creativity, legal boundaries, and industry norms...
...while allowing space for innovation. This governance approach is especially timely as studios face legal challenges and AI hallucination risks that could damage reputations, IP, or brand equity.
