Beatrice speaks with William Boyd about how “risk assessment” became a central focus of health safety and environmental law since the 1970s, and how the political and economic factors that structure how those risks are assessed have resulted in law and policy far less likely to protect against environmental and health hazards.

SOMETHING 4 THA WEEKEND Vo.117 live mix by MichaelV

Welcome to "AI with Shaily," hosted by Shailendra Kumar, a passionate guide exploring the dynamic and fast-changing world of artificial intelligence 🤖🌍. In this insightful session, Shaily delves into the crucial topic of emerging standards for AI safety evaluations, a subject currently stirring significant buzz on social media platforms like Twitter and LinkedIn 📱💬.

Shaily highlights the importance of keeping AI safe, ethical, and trustworthy as technology advances rapidly. A major focus is the *International AI Safety Report 2025*, a landmark collaboration involving 96 global experts who have come together to identify and address the biggest risks AI poses today 🌐👥. These risks include privacy breaches, leaks of training data, and vulnerabilities in real-time exposures within general-purpose AI systems. This report is not just academic; it’s becoming the global benchmark for understanding and managing AI risks 📊📑.

Another exciting topic Shaily covers is the rise of autonomous AI agents—intelligent systems capable of planning, executing, and delegating tasks independently. These agents have captured public imagination through viral videos showing AI assistants debugging code or managing complex schedules effortlessly 🧠⚙️. However, their autonomy also raises critical questions about accountability and control, sparking vibrant discussions online about balancing innovation with responsibility ⚖️🔥.

Shaily also introduces the new ISO standard, ISO/IEC 42005:2025, which offers a practical, scalable framework for assessing AI’s societal impacts throughout its lifecycle 🌱📈. Professionals are actively sharing resources like infographics, tutorials, and checklists to implement these assessments, emphasizing transparency and accountability. This shift turns the abstract concept of “ethical AI” into actionable steps organizations can follow to ensure responsible AI deployment ✅🔍.

The conversation extends to how we prioritize and measure AI safety risks. Shaily notes the ongoing debates about whether to use quantitative data or narrative approaches and how to translate evaluation results into real-world safety improvements. Comparing AI’s problem-solving and cybersecurity capabilities to human benchmarks fuels curiosity and friendly debates about whether machines will outsmart or outsafe humans first 🧩🤔.

On a personal note, Shaily reflects on his early experiences with autonomous systems, likening it to “teaching a toddler to walk while racing a jet plane” — a vivid metaphor for the tension between rapid innovation and the slower pace of safety frameworks 🏃‍♂️✈️. Today’s emerging standards, he says, provide essential guide rails to ensure AI development is not just fast but responsible 🚦🛤️.

For AI practitioners and enthusiasts, Shaily offers a valuable tip: always question not only if an AI system can perform a task but whether it should, and how to ensure it causes no harm. He stresses the importance of incorporating standardized impact assessments early and staying updated with evolving frameworks like ISO 42005 to avoid future problems 🛡️🧩.

Ending on a thoughtful note, Shaily quotes AI pioneer Marvin Minsky: “Will robots inherit the earth? Yes, but they will be our children.” This emphasizes the role of safety standards in nurturing AI’s future to benefit humanity 🌎👶🤖.

Listeners are encouraged to join the conversation by following Shaily on YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Medium, subscribing for more updates, and sharing their perspectives. The message is clear: navigating AI’s future is a collective journey that requires continuous questioning, learning, and commitment to safety 🔄💡🛡️.

In summary, Shailendra Kumar’s "AI with Shaily" offers a comprehensive, engaging, and thoughtful exploration of the latest developments in AI safety standards, blending expert insights, personal experience, and practical advice to empower the AI community and beyond 🚀🤝.
