The Most Important Words in the Battle Over AI In the battle over AI regulation — from Washington, D.C. to Silicon Valley — one term has become unexpectedly controversial: AI safety. After all, who doesnt believe in making these tools safe? But depending on where people stand on the issue, AI safety has come to signal wildly different things. Some are concerned about existential […]

The benchs AI balancing act Judges are becoming AI firewalls, setting guidelines for lawyers and litigants entering their courtrooms and reprimanding those who fail to vet their research or cite fake AI-generated cases.But judges are also navigating how to use the tech themselves.Why it matters: As attorney sanctions mount for irresponsible AI use, judges chambers are at the center of the push and pull between innovation and caution. Some early adopters see AI use as a catalyst for justice — while other jurists remain staunchly skeptical."AI has the possibility to be an incredible value adder and force maximizer in the federal judiciary," says Amy Cyphert, a West Virginia University College of Law professor. "But it also has the potential to undermine public confidence in the judiciary at a time where its already at a historic low." By the numbers: 60 of 112 judges surveyed by Northwestern researchers reported using at least one AI tool. Just over 22 used AI tools weekly or daily.Cypherts own research found judges worry about not only the risks of AI hallucinations but also the privacy and confidentiality implications.Yes, but: AI adoption is outpacing training, the judges reported in the survey. To fill those gaps, Magistrate Judge Maritza Braswell of the U.S. District Court of Colorado founded the Judicial AI Consortium (JAIC), alongside Judge Scott Schlegel of Louisianas circuit court and U.S. District Judge Xavier Rodriguez. "Because the technology is moving very fast, I think the tendency tends to be to start from a place of fear," she says. So, "weve really created the space where we start from a place of knowledge."Friction point: U.S. District Judge Liam OGrady of the Eastern District of Virginia tells Axios that before he retired in 2023, judges were fascinated by AI — but they also "had pretty grave doubts about its reliability."Lawyers, he says, had begun turning to the tools — and "it was clear that mistakes were being made right away."Case in point: Last month, a federal judge in Mississippi punished four lawyers and canceled a civil trial after both sides cited fake, AI-generated cases. And its not just lawyers who have faced heat.Damien Charlotin, a senior research fellow at HEC Paris, has identified more than 1,700 cases where generative AI hallucinated. On Thursday, a federal judge in Michigan accused the government of likely citing an AI-generated case in an immigration-related filing. While Chief Judge Hala Jarbou, a Trump appointee, did not impose sanctions, she wrote that "the Government must ensure its future filings with this Court do not include nonexistent case law."The solution, JAICs judicial co-founders who spoke with Axios emphasized, is education."We didnt shut down Zoom court because one lawyer showed up as a cat," Schlegel says. Rodriguez adds that its "a work in progress by everybody — lawyers and judges alike."Plus, Braswell worries an outsized focus on hallucinations could distract from other ethical considerations, like bias and access to justice.Threat level: Schlegel adds that judges approach lawyers or pro se litigants use of AI differently than how they think about using it in their chambers."We need to be much more thoughtful in the way that we use these tools," he says, adding, "When we sign an order, if theres something wrong in it, thats the law."The bottom line: Judges are learning a fast-moving technology from a seat where getting it wrong is most costly."I started practice in the 70s with the typewriter," OGrady says, adding, "Theres been such a dramatic jump in technology."He says its "like learning a new language when youre 60 or 70 years old — Its not easy. Weve got a whole generation of judges who this is just completely new to, and theyre cautious and skeptical."Go deeper: AI tells lawyers how judges are likely to rule

Women-led start-ups attract just 7 of Swiss venture capital funding Start-ups led by women continue to have a limited presence in the Swiss venture capital market. In the first half of 2026, just over 7 of venture capital was channelled to companies with female CEOs. The proportion of funding allocated to women-led teams has therefore remained at a low level for years, according to a new study by the investors association SECA. Given that gender equality has long been a topic of discussion and there are now a number of funding initiatives in place, this is astonishing, said Stefan Kyora, co-author of the study, at a media event. It is also surprising that, in the start-up world, most management teams remain homogeneous – and thus predominantly male. Specifically, according to the study, companies with all-male management teams received more than 88 of the total capital invested in the first half of the year. + How we produce English news Translated from French, reviewed by an English Department journalist.

Open-weight models now match frontier cyber performance from just four months ago at a fraction of the cost The British AI Security Institute warns that open-weight models like GLM-5.2 and DeepSeek V4-Pro now trail closed frontier models in cyber capabilities by four to seven months. At the start of 2025, the gap was still six to ten months. It also found that safety measures on open models are largely ineffective, leaving defenders less time to prepare.
