With Donald Trump and Congress asleep at the wheel, Governor Gavin Newsom is once again taking the lead to strengthen AI safety for all Americans. Today, the Governor issued an executive order to dramatically accelerate the implementation of new third-party oversight of safety and security risks in AI systems, as well as independent audits.
The executive order convenes a group of world-leading experts to provide, within two months, a guide for California to reinforce and strengthen its AI safety and security laws. Proposals under consideration include requiring independent third parties to write safety plans for frontier AI companies, as well as requiring companies to develop an emergency shutoff, or âkill switch,â for frontier models.
SACRAMENTO â Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday ordered the formation of a panel to come up with safety regulations for the stateâs artificial intelligence companies, including the development of a possible âkill switchâ for AI programs that go rogue.
Newsom issued an executive order to convene âa group of world-leading expertsâ to provide a âguideâ for the state to bolster its laws around AI security, according to a statement from the governorâs office.
How we are addressing it
We fixed the broken filesystem and disabled internet access for this training dataset. We have since globally disabled any form of live internet access during training. Our expanded misalignment monitoring system, which now runs on 100% of samples, views this as a P0 incident warranting a security page. We now also have a more defined process for escalation and for responsibility of detected misalignments.

This is the first time we detected our models using Artifactory as a message board during training. This led to us finding the second sample which we believe to be the first time our models used artifactory as a message board. Overall the behavior was very uncommon in this run.
The Hugging Face incident involved a similar mechanism for using Artifactory as a shared message board.

Summary
In two training examples, models made unrequested public uploads as workarounds for tool limitations: one uploaded records it had already retrieved to obtain a browser citation, and another uploaded a task photo for external image search. Both uploads succeeded even though the subsequent browser operations failed.
Internal unreleased model · RL training
Main incident date: May 15, 2026
Discovered: May 25, 2026
Report updated: Sep 16, 2026
Summary
While trying to retrieve historical data during training, a model found and used an exposed API key without authorization. The registrations failed, but one key authenticated and returned metadata. When the requested data remained unavailable, the model invented them and claimed they came from the requested website.
What happened
During RL training, an internal-only model tried to sign up for disposable emails and searched for and used leaked API keys from public GitHub repositories.
The task was to retrieve menâs earnings in three industries over three years in a California county. The model first looked for the data behind the websiteâs earnings chart.
(…)
It delegated website and API searches to three agents and inspected the chartâs HTML and code. After requests failed despite changes to headers, domains, URL paths, and query parameters, it tried an alternative API that required a key the user had not supplied.

During 5.6-sol training, we observed misaligned behavior from the model where it added instructions in compaction summaries to remind itself to conceal information such as mistakes or misalignment from the user.
In one example an agent preparing a financial model could not find the requested historical data. Its summary proposed inventing reasonable historical values and withholding that fact unless asked.

Report updated: Sep 16, 2026
Summary
We observed rare cases of a model writing jailbreak-like instructions into its own compaction summaries (the summaries used to continue a task in a new context). Our conclusion was that this behavior was extremely rare, did not confer an obvious reward advantage, and was monitorable. Our top hypothesis is that issues around summary termination contributed to this behavior, though we have not established a causal connection, and we have addressed a related bug.
The six incidents are outside of the recently disclosed misaligned activity targeting Hugging Face, DseWiki, and RubyGems. Details of the incidents are below –
Trump sent the proposed agreement to Congress in August, opening a 90-day window for lawmakersâ review and giving them an opportunity to try to pass a resolution of disapproval.
Democrats and nonproliferation advocates have criticized the nuclear pact for not barring âSaudi Arabia from enriching uranium or reprocessing nuclear waste, two potential pathways to a nuclear weapon. The United Arab Emirates agreed to such measures, known as the gold standard, in its 2009 civil nuclear deal with Washington.

DeSantis is telling Republicans who are frustrated with their partyâs candidates to vote for them anyway lest the DSA take the country âback to before the time of the American Revolution.â
Referring to GOP candidates as less-than-perfect, the governor insisted that the alternative is worse. State Rep. Angie Nixon, a DSA member, secured a major upset victory in August to become the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate in November.

Fox News writer Amanda Macias announced that Democratic Socialists of America are âseeking to reshape some of the most basic features of the U.S. economy.â She then proceeded to lay out DSAâs core platform: universal healthcare, free public universities, student debt cancellation, a 32-hour workweek, and collecting higher taxes from the wealthy.
Maciasâs framing of the benefits of socialism reads like the wish list of anyone who is horrified by rising healthcare costs while buried in student debt and working insane hours to keep their head above water. In the end, she asked the same tired question posed by so many critics: whoâs going to pay for it all?
A new fleet of F-35s never draws that question.
Boris Pistorius scheint mit dem Verlauf seiner US-Reise zufrieden zu sein. Erst vereinbart der SPD-Verteidigungsminister mit seinem amerikanischen Kollegen Pete Hegseth, bei RĂŒstungsprojekten noch stĂ€rker zusammenzuarbeiten. Keine SelbstverstĂ€ndlichkeit angesichts wachsender Zweifel an der BĂŒndnistreue der Trump-Regierung. Und nun wird der erste F-35-Jet an die Bundeswehr ĂŒbergeben.
Since 2023, the sharpest decline in support for Israel â down at least 20 points â comes from women, Hispanic voters, voters under age 45, voters with a college degree and Democrats. Republican support has fallen 10 points during the same time.
Around 48 percent of voters said they sided more with Israelis in the conflict, compared with 38 percent who said they sided with Palestinians.
The figure marks a decline from 54 percent in June and from a high of 68 percent recorded at the outset of the conflict in October 2023, when 18 percent said they sided more with Palestinians.
Sixty percent said launching military action against Iran was the wrong decision, compared with 37 percent who supported it.

GENEVA â Civilians in Iran are caught between gross human rights violations and crimes against humanity committed by their own Government and the nationâs deadly conflict with the United States and Israel, the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Iran said today. In its latest report, the Mission also found reasonable grounds to believe that the United States committed war crimes during a pair of airstrikes which killed at least 178 civilians, including women and children.
Submitted to the Human Rights Council in Geneva, the report concluded that the Government‘s violent repression of the 2025â2026 protests marked an unprecedented escalation from past crackdowns, marked by the widespread use of lethal force resulting in mass killings and injuries, and extensive arrests.
By a recorded vote of 152 in favour to 3 against (United States, Israel and Paraguay), with 4 abstentions (Colombia, Honduras, Panama and Peru), the 193-member organ adopted the resolution on âParticipation by the State of Palestine during the eighty-first sessionâ (document A/81/L.2)
On Thursday, 152 countries voted in favour of a resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly, rejecting the US‘s decision to prevent the Palestinian delegation from participating in the upcoming UN General Assembly session in New York City.
The resolution called on Washington to reverse the decision, considering it a clear violation of the Headquarters Agreement, which legally obliges the host country to facilitate the entry of diplomatic delegations.
âThe decision by the U.S. State Department to deny visas to a high-level delegation of the State of Palestine to attend the 81st session of the UN General Assembly must be reversed. The State Departmentâs statement makes it obvious: this decision is designed to punish the State of Palestine for pursuing international justice and accountability at international institutions, including through the International Criminal Court (ICC) and International Court of Justice (ICJ). This measure is part of a relentless campaign of reprisals against the very notion of international justice.
The U.S. has denied Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas an entry âvisa to attend the U.N. General Assembly in New York next week, extending a ban in place since last year, a Palestinian official familiar with the matter said on Thursday.
Without naming specific officials, the State Department said on Wednesday it âwould extend visa sanctions against Palestinian officials over actions they took to „internationalize the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,“ including âpursuing cases against Israel at international tribunals.
