The New Rules for the World's Biggest AI Models

In this episode of TechUnhinged, host Rabia Javeed sits down with Risto Uuk, Head of European Policy and Research at the Future of Life Institute, who has spent five years on the Act's general-purpose AI rules. Risto argues that the rules for the biggest models are not the weak point; the open question is whether anyone will enforce them. He explains why training compute is a proxy for danger rather than a measure, why the Code of Practice was built from the labs' own safety frameworks, and how the rules reach a company with no office in Europe. He also walks through the agent that broke out of a test environment and hacked third-party infrastructure.
