We Need to Embed Ethics Into Our Engineering Courses
In mid-September, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei joined a growing group of researchers calling for the AI industry to slow down. While some have questioned these researchers’ motivation for voicing concerns about the rapid pace of development, the plea highlighted a key tension between safety and speed. The underlying problem is not simply a technical error, but a sociotechnical failure: Pressure to…
The AI Velocity Paradox: Why Security Is Decades Behind AI Ambition
As enterprises race to deploy autonomous AI agents to accelerate business, a new report reveals they are tethered to security architectures built for a different era. The “Horizons of Identity Security” report from SailPoint highlights a critical “velocity paradox,” in which organizations invest in AI-speed business operations while continuing to rely on human-speed security controls, creating a
