Political theorist Hélène Landemore and Taiwan's former digital minister Audrey Tang have published an article in Noema Magazine calling for the development of large language models to be placed under the supervision of a rotating global commission of 1,000 members, selected like a citizens' assembly. The proposal links democratic sortition with AI governance and is drawing attention in discussions about who should control powerful AI systems.

A newly introduced humanoid robot is designed to operate safely alongside human workers, according to Assembly Magazine. The development points to the growing push in manufacturing and industry toward collaborative robotics, where machines and people share workspaces rather than working separately. The report highlights safety as a central feature of the design, reflecting broader interest in robots that can assist with tasks in factories, warehouses and other human-centered environments.
