Yesterday I was invited onto the @BBCNews channel to discuss the news that OpenAI has chosen not to release its highly-anticipated new AI model GPT-6.1 Astra over concerns it does not meet the company's safety standards 📺
Was great to work with Matthew Amroliwala and Cheryl Kalau. I shared latest insights from the tech industry, including an impassioned defence of cybersecurity engineers working for OpenAI, who have been critiqued by the global tech community online for failing to prevent AI agents from accessing the internet to break into other companies' and governments' servers 🤖
I also highlighted a powerful new report published this week by University of Cambridge's Programme for AI Science & Policy on the risks of automated AI research & development, which is authored by a slew of AI bigwigs across the industry from OpenAI, Anthropic and Microsoft etc, as well as world-leading computer scientists including Geoffrey Hinton.
For further reading, I highly recommend checking out:
1) OpenAI cybersecurity engineer Joe's blog on X, which has been viewed 1 million times:
https://x.com/joedaroo/status/21043359292931278512) Cambridge University's paper "What if automating AI R&D triggers an intelligence explosion?"

[EDIT: this happened last year. It took me a while to find out ... !!]
Professor Aaron Koller is appointed Regius Professor of Hebrew at Cambridge. He is the first Jewish holder of this role since 1540.
Better late than never.
Glad that my alma mater got this right. Even if it took her some 486 years.

https://www.europesays.com/be/33914/ US ambassador to Belgium criticizes Ghent University’s suspension of professor over Jason Arday accusations #Belgium #BillWhite #CambridgeUniversity #GhentUniversity #JasonArday #NathanCofnas
-
"Cofnas said that an unidentified male Cambridge faculty member had supplied him with information about Arday. Before even examining Arday’s PhD thesis, completed at Liverpool John Moores University, Cofnas had dismissed him as “just another DEI hire”, referring to ‘Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion’ schemes.
At the ideological centre of the network is Aporia, an online magazine which serves as the public-facing arm of the Human Diversity Foundation – now known as Polygenic Scores.
The Human Diversity Foundation was a rebranded and relaunched version of the Nazi-era Pioneer Fund, which sought to mainstream its eugenics doctrines through Aporia.
Tech billionaire Peter Thiel has cultivated ties to key actors in this network: to Cambridge Professor James Orr, through whom he channelled a donation to Cambridge; to Orr’s Cambridge circle; to online magazine Quillette which published attacks on Arday; and directly to Nathan Cofnas and Aporia senior editor Noah Carl.
Orr linked this infrastructure to politics. Reform UK’s Head of Policy, and an advisor to the Free Speech Union organisation, he invited Aporia into national conservatism.
At The Sanctuary, a right wing hub in Westminster, Aporia and the Orr-backed Cambridge Scrutonian Society have separate offices provided by cryptobillionaire Ben Delo.
Delo gave Reform £4 million in early 2026. He has also sponsored the Free Speech Union.
By understanding this network and its ideology, a more accurate picture can be developed of the motivations behind the disproportionate attacks on Jason Arday that continued even after his resignation from Cambridge University."

CW: Jason Arday
Deeply sad news. I had feared this might happen.
A young man with an urge to be special, apparently compelled to present himself as heroic in all fields, possibly at the expense of truth and honesty. The institution's machinery saw an opportunity to use his shine for its own branding. Duty of care was violated.
An ambitious and conflicted young scholar needed nurturing and calming by his university. Instead the institution amplified the hype. He was exploited while he had the shine, then dropped. He could not manage the fracturing of his world. Desperately sad.
When the cracks in his claims first came out, I wrote: "His soul must be shaking." May his soul be healed. Thinking of his family and friends.

CW: possible suicide
It now seems that Jason Arday may have taken his own life after having stepped down from his position(resigned) as Professor at Cambridge in response to a raft of allegations about his conduct & his academic work.
Arday has been at the centre of a media & political furore, and now many may certainly regard his erstwhile employer as being a key player in the circumstances that (appear to have) driven him to suicide.

In 1359, a woman set out a vision of education: intellectual delights, meritocracy, benefits to individuals and society. Centuries later, the words & imagery of the #LadyOfClare remain resonant. They're celebrated in a new memorial, seen here with the Vicar of #GreatBardfield & the Master of #ClareCollege. Following completion, the project webpage has been updated:
