When people say "I'd do anything for my child," everyone praises them, but when a parent risks crossing a border to save their child from war, poverty, or danger, suddenly they're treated like criminals.

We must always endeavour to learn from past mistakes. @caiocvm, @OmerBilginAI and I set out why severe AI incidents warrant policymakers’ attention.
The evidence is already in plain sight. Incidents carry information about failure modes, affected populations, and gaps in oversight. But sharing that information is hard, and without it countries have no way to coordinate a response. This is more important now, when AI causes severe harm in many countries at once.
We argue that incident sharing is a prerequisite for response to AI harms. Without a way to observe harms systematically and learn across borders, prevention and preparedness have little to work from.
Countries are growing more concerned about the harms AI poses to their populations. As Mythos' capabilities have warned us, we could see exploitation of critical infrastructure societies depend on.
Yet, African countries are paying little attention to this. @MarieIrad makes the case for how they can build capacity to monitor such impacts and learn from harms that are increasingly manifesting. Hopefully, this data can help prepare for the more serious, plausibly devastating scenarios ahead.

Bananas are such convenient fruits like no chopping or washing needed, not sticky, no juice dripping around and they come with their own biodegradable packaging. A 10/10 in my books
