Google’s New Safety Manual for AI Agents Proves the “Wild West” Era is Ending
Google DeepMind just dropped the “AI Control Roadmap,” and it’s the most honest admission we’ve seen yet: current AI safety measures aren’t ready for a world where bots have the keys to your bank account.

By launching seven new models and a proprietary “Frontier Tuning” system, Microsoft…
