Inside Europes lessons on AI safety as U.S. rules loom Europe and the United Kingdom are fine-tuning their approach to AI model testing as a deadline looms for the U.S. government to set rules of the road.Why it matters: U.S. allies for years have been grappling with the same AI safety questions the Trump administration now faces.Wherever the U.S. lands in its AI framework, architects of the EU and U.K. approaches say it would be just the start.The big picture: President Trump began his second term by scrapping his predecessors AI strategy and pursuing an anti-regulatory regime. But as AI models rapidly grew more powerful, the Trump administration has found itself developing an oversight framework and deciding exactly what should be covered.Under Trumps executive order, the administration is due to release its voluntary AI framework by Aug. 1.The Trump administration is weighing a unified pitch from OpenAI and Anthropic to create "an equal playing field" where highly capable models are all covered, regardless of whether theyre open- or closed-source, according to one source familiar with the discussions.The EU, meanwhile, has treated AI safety as a sustained technical and policy project for several years. Its a fluid approach to cybersecurity use cases where previous events inform future rules. Zoom in: One lesson from Europe is to start with specific threat scenarios.Researchers begin with historical data on threats such as biological weapons, then measure how much AI increases a bad actors capabilities and whether that creates a systemic risk to society, CEO and co-founder of AI evaluation firm EquiStamp Chris Canal told Axios.Other key lessons from the EU process include tying benchmarking — testing AI models against standardized evaluations to measure their capabilities and risks — to specific scenarios, such as bioweapons or government database hacks.The EU also emphasizes multiple, independent verifications rather than relying solely on companies own assessments.Canal worked with the EU and U.K. governments to shape their approaches to AI regulation. Zoom out: The EU commits to getting buy-in from the scientific community, grounding AI risk thresholds in peer-reviewed science before embedding them into policy and pushing researchers to publish their methodologies.By comparison, the U.S. relies mainly on internal or industry-driven standards. Technical experts are also flocking to the private sector, particularly in the U.S. and U.K. What theyre saying: "There have been several times where were working with someone on the [U.K.] government side, and they suddenly put in their two weeks notice, maybe less, and then they have a great position at OpenAI," Canal said. The bottom line: Governments are beginning to coalesce around cyber risks, but the U.S. and its allies are only beginning to map AIs broader challenges.

Publishers are losing Google traffic as AI answers replace links The way your work shows up in a digital-dominated world is changing lightning fast, starting with the total collapse of Google Search traffic.Why it matters: Google has basically stopped sending people to websites (including our site) for answers and information. Instead, its using AI to answer them on its platform, in its words.Chartbeat data shared with Axios shows Google Search traffic to publishers fell 34 over the past year.That pain is regressive. Over the past two years, small publishers lost 60 of referrals from search overall, medium publishers 47, large publishers 22.This is a gut punch to all of us who operate online because people who search arrive with specific needs and intent, so they tend to be more valuable than a random passer-by from X or Facebook.At the same time, LinkedIn, Reddit and other massive platforms are getting jammed with AI-created content, making it harder to stand out — or decipher real from fake.To that end, Substack announced a partnership last week with AI-detection software Pangram, specifically calling out LinkedIn while arguing that "platforms that reward fakeness will create a race to the bottom."Between the lines: Any smart person who primarily does business online is already anticipating the shift to an LLM, ChatGPT-like world.It starts with GEO — the term for shaping how content shows up inside LLMs like Claude and ChatGPT. This is the modern version of SEO. Its early, and its a black box. But theres no time to waste.The future: My theory is all of us will need to rethink and reformat our content to meet human AND AI needs.Turns out, our Smart Brevity format — most important point first, context second, information stacked in order of importance, often in bullet form — works wonders with AI.Were among the top publishers surfaced by the leading LLMs, so were working with companies to see if they can achieve similar results.Its crucial to get ahead of this problem. At Axios, were already figuring out how we can:Show up inside LLMs now.Improve that standing.Offset reliance on search and open web.Connect with audiences in a post-open-web world. (Direct relationships via things like newsletters and events are a good start.)Whats next: The agent wave is coming. Smart publishers have largely stopped treating AI engines as a referral source and now treat them as a distribution layer. Soon, the "customer" reading a website, comparing prices and learning about a product will often be someones AI agent as the middleman.📈 If youre a CEO or on a CEOs team: Ask to join Jims new weekly Axios C-Suite newsletter.
