AI agency became a more concrete safety and engineering problem<\/h3>\n
The key story is goal pursuit over time: when an agent meets an obstacle, can it find a workaround, coordinate and keep acting \u2014 and can humans keep it inside scope?<\/p>\n
\n SYSTEM<\/strong>multi-layer<\/span><\/span>\n <\/div>\n
Aging research is converging on system-level regulation<\/h3>\n
