OpenAI has hired former U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll as its new senior advisor for national security modernization, deepening a Pentagon relationship already built on major contracts. The appointment highlights how AI companies are recruiting former officials to convert institutional trust into defense revenue, while raising questions about revolving-door safeguards.
Deployed AI systems can behave very differently from their foundation models, so safety scores from system cards cannot be assumed to transfer. Teams should test complete deployment systems and account for measurement uncertainty.
Developers and deployers can now use two MLCommons benchmarks, AILuminate Safety 1.2.1 and AILuminate Jailbreak 1.1, to test AI systems' propensity to produce harmful content and how easily attackers can induce violations. Both benchmarks can be run on demand through MLCommons' new Candela service, and new public results for 27 systems have been released.
MLCommons has launched Candela, a benchmarking-as-a-service offering built on the AILuminate benchmarks to measure AI risk and reliability. It enables organizations to test complete AI systems across configurations and cite results for governance and procurement.

Open source models are becoming more mainstream as enterprises, governments and startups alike rely on the promise of lower costs, more control, and more flexibility. But as increasingly capable models become more freely available, how do companies capture value? And with Chinese open models gaining ground, can American players keep up?  On this episode of […]
Texas is the fastest-growing data center market in the US and ground zero for Big Tech’s largest AI buildouts. But the blue wave that swept the Lone Star State may jeopardize that position. Democrat James Talarico won the US Senate seat against Ken Paxton. Gina Hinojosa won the race for governor against the Republican incumbent,…
“Most of the risk is actually created by a couple of players building behind closed doors,” Clément Delangue said of the need for open source AI.
DuckDuckGo is courting schools frustrated by Google's AI restrictions, pointing educators to its search engine and options to disable AI features.
