Google DeepMind chair Demis Hassabis called recent security incidents during testing 'early warning shots' from not-yet-powerful systems, warning they could become major next year, and suggested new models be tested first in offline sandboxes. Microsoft president Brad Smith urged urgent, real and effective safety standards, plus 'safety brakes' for AI agents and mandatory incident reporting.
