Open Problems in Frontier AI Risk Management
Feb 24, 2026
Frontier AI systems – general-purpose systems capable of performing a wide range of tasks – bring a set of safety risks which risk management can help tackle. However, most AI-specific risk management standards were developed for narrow AI systems, before the advent of frontier AI. Frontier AI both amplifies existing risks and introduces qualitatively novel challenges. Not only is there a notable lack of stable scientific consensus resulting from the rapid pace of technological change, but emerging frontier AI safety practices are often misaligned with, or may undermine, established risk management frameworks. To address these challenges, we systematically surface open problems in frontier AI risk management. Read More..

Identifying Root Causes: Challenges and Trends in Medical Device Recalls
22 July 2024
From software glitches to manufacturing flaws, understanding the causes of medical devices issues is critical for improving patient safety and refining regulations. While recall data is essential for improving patient safety and regulatory oversight, current systems often suffer from incomplete or unclear root cause reporting—highlighted by a rising number of cases labelled as “under investigation.” Read More..
This paper examines how the European Union’s AI Act relies on technical standards to translate broad legal requirements into practical rules for companies. It argues that while the Act aims to ensure AI systems are safe, trustworthy, and respectful of fundamental rights, existing safety standards are still underdeveloped and struggle to address the unique challenges of AI, such as its complexity, opacity, and wide range of applications.
