Ethics & Safety Weekly AI News

May 26 - June 3, 2025

This week saw major discussions about Agentic AI ethics and safety. At the RSA conference, companies showed new AI security tools that can fight cyber threats automatically. But experts warned that people still don’t fully trust AI, just like they didn’t trust cloud technology at first.

In the United States and Europe, new laws are pushing for AI transparency. Companies must now explain how their AI makes decisions, especially when it affects jobs or safety. California’s new AI law requires companies to check for bias in their systems to prevent unfair treatment.

Cybersecurity teams are using Agentic AI to spot hackers faster. However, bad actors could trick these AI systems into attacking on their own, causing bigger problems. Experts say constant monitoring and strong safeguards are needed to keep AI safe.

A report from Northeastern University predicts 25% of companies will test Agentic AI this year. This rapid growth means ethics rules must keep up with technology.
