OECD and FCA authors explain AI Live Testing as discovery workshops followed by review of firms’ testing and monitoring in live financial use cases. Evidence covers architecture, data pipelines, robustness, logging and technical resilience. Firms retain responsibility for tests and risk controls; participation provides feedback, without regulatory approval or audit sign-off. Agentic systems make ongoing monitoring essential because pre-deployment tests cannot cover every path.

Pacing model development in an era of cyber-critical capabilities
OpenAI says preliminary evidence that Astra may meet its Critical cybersecurity threshold led it to pause frontier reinforcement-learning work for two weeks and keep its largest planned run on hold. New safeguards include stronger workload and network isolation, continuous boundary testing, token-level monitoring that escalates suspicious tool activity, and broader alignment checks for deception, reward hacking, and unauthorized access.
OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications for 2026
OWASP's community guide organizes agentic-system risk into ten categories, including goal hijacking, tool misuse, identity and privilege abuse, memory poisoning, insecure inter-agent communication, cascading failures, and rogue-agent behavior. It provides a shared taxonomy and mitigation starting point rather than a certification checklist or evidence that a deployed system is secure.
A blueprint for democratic governance of frontier AI
OpenAI proposes a three-part U.S. frontier-AI governance model: harmonize emerging state safety laws into a federal baseline, strengthen CAISI as an evaluation and standards institution, and coordinate a broader resilience program. Proposed controls include severe-risk evaluations, transparency reports, independent audits, safety-incident reporting, model-weight security, whistleblower protection, and periodic technical assessments.
