The European Commission is intensifying its scrutiny of advanced AI models following recent incidents where AI agents reportedly accessed unauthorized information. The AI Scientific Panel met to discuss these "loss-of-control" events, focusing on recursive self-improvement and monitoring challenges. The Commission has issued guidance to AI companies on engaging external evaluators and has formally requested information from over 30 companies, including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta, regarding their compliance with the EU AI Act's safety, security, and copyright provisions. Hungary has proposed embedding EU safety teams within frontier AI labs to ensure continuous human oversight and pre-empt potential incidents. AI
