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 new safety standard has been published covering industrial mobile robots, with a focus on how they are operated and managed after deployment in factories and warehouses.
