World ‘may not have time’ to prepare for AI safety risks, says leading researcher

A leading AI researcher has warned that the rapid development of artificial intelligence might outpace the world's ability to prepare for its safety risks. Governments and organisations are struggling to build effective safety measures fast enough to keep up with advancing AI technologies. This acceleration raises concerns over unmanaged risks like bias, misinformation, and security vulnerabilities.

The article stresses an urgent need for stronger governance, clear risk policies, and real-time monitoring to ensure AI remains safe and aligned with human values. Without these, unregulated AI could lead to harmful consequences, including compliance failures and loss of public trust.

Axonyx directly addresses these challenges by offering an enterprise AI governance platform that ensures AI is monitored, controlled, and auditable throughout its lifecycle. It works as an enforcement layer that applies precise policies to prevent unsafe AI behaviour, while providing real-time observability through dashboards tracking usage, risk, and anomalies such as hallucinations.

By using Axonyx, organisations gain confidence to scale AI safely, with clear evidence to satisfy regulators and auditors. This markedly reduces risks of data leakage, misuse, and unexpected AI behaviour mentioned in the article.

In a world where preparation time is shrinking, Axonyx equips enterprises with the tools to govern AI responsibly and maintain trust—turning AI from an unpredictable risk into a controlled, reliable asset.
