UK AI Safety Institute: Overseeing advanced AI systems is becoming harder — 20+ degradation pathways identified

UK AI Safety Institute (AISI) published a report on 21 May 2026 analysing the future of oversight over advanced AI systems, based on 25 expert interviews from industry, government, and academia. The main finding: existing oversight rests on foundations that are likely to erode. More than 20 distinct degradation pathways for oversight mechanisms have been identified, with particular focus on latent reasoning, capability masking, external AI actions, and AI-to-AI communication.

UK AISI: autonomous AI cyber capabilities double every 4.7 months — Claude Mythos Preview and GPT-5.5 are the first to solve cyber ranges

How fast is autonomous AI cyber capability advancing? is a new report from the UK AI Safety Institute (AISI) published on May 13, 2026. Measuring cyber time horizons benchmarks (2.5M token budget, 80 % success threshold), AISI determined that the length of cyber tasks AI models can autonomously solve doubles every 4.7 months. Claude Mythos Preview is the first model to solve both cyber ranges (The Last Ones 60 %, Cooling Tower 30 %); GPT-5.5 solved The Last Ones at 30 %.

Anthropic Research: 2028 — Two Scenarios for Geopolitical AI Dominance and Recommendations for Closing Smuggling Loopholes

Anthropic Research 2028 AI Leadership Scenarios is a new policy paper published on May 14, 2026, describing two geopolitical scenarios for AI dominance by 2028. Scenario 1: US democracies maintain a 12-24 month lead through export controls and model defense. Scenario 2: China reaches parity through distillation attacks and $2.5B Supermicro-style chip smuggling. Anthropic recommends closing loopholes, defensive legislation, and championing American AI exports.
