Something Mysterious Is Happening
In a blog reflecting on her co-authored report, AI Loss of Control Risks, Mariami Tkeshelashvili writes, "There is a difference between embracing mystery as a driver of discovery and being incurious about risks that are already becoming visible. Monitoring AI behaviours that we cannot fully explain is not pessimism—it is responsibility. It is what keeps us safe."
