"Most studies (62%) employed #observational designs with small, homogenous #cohorts, limited #SubgroupAnalyses, and frequent exclusion of #VulnerablePopulations. Structural barriers (including misaligned financial incentives, reliance on predicate-based regulatory pathways, and logistical challenges of multi-center trials) discourage rigorous #evaluation. Internationally, FDA clearance often functions as a gateway for global #deployment, raising #ethical concerns when under-validated tools are introduced into low- and middle-income countries #LMIC without contextual #validation or #safeguards. Regulatory approval has outpaced clinical validation, creating an ecosystem where innovation advances without accountability."

Access to #ClaudeFable 5 and #ClaudeMythos 5 has been #restored after the #USgovernment lifted #exportcontrols. The controls were imposed due to a report of a method bypassing #Fable 5’s #safeguards, which has now been addressed with an improved safety classifier. #Anthropic is collaborating with the US government and industry partners to develop a shared framework for assessing and mitigating AI model “jailbreaks.” https://www.anthropic.com/news/redeploying-fable-5?eicker.news #tech #media #news

The last four years have shown “an increase in #risk” for #election #disinformation—but also a “#strengthening of #safeguards” against it.
