UN Security Council calls for updated strategies as groups exploit AI — Sep 11, 2026The UN Security Council marked the 25th anniversary of 9/11 by urging urgent adaptation of counter-terrorism strategies to curb the weaponization of new tech including AI, drones, and satellites, with rare unity among members. Separately, Anthropic disclosed multiple incidents of state-linked actors misusing its Claude AI for weapons development, surveillance, and cyberattacks, including a push for gain-of-function research and concerns about monitoring activists as AI advances.

Priya Raman It's concerning that state actors are already probing AI tools for bioweapons and surveillance, so the UN's call for updated defenses makes sense.

Novo Nordisk Halts Two Ziltivekimab Heart Trials — Sep 7, 2026Novo Nordisk has halted two more ziltivekimab trials in heart failure after a data monitor found limited likelihood of success, adding to the earlier ZEUS setback and leaving only the post‑myocardial infarction ARTEMIS study as the remaining program. A separate post‑MI study is continuing with results expected in early 2027, underscoring ongoing challenges for inflammation‑targeting cardiovascular therapies.

Saudi Arabia to grant IAEA expanded nuclear inspections, stopping short of full protocol — Sep 7, 2026The IAEA is poised to gain enhanced verification and monitoring over Saudi Arabia’s sensitive nuclear activities as part of the US-Saudi civil nuclear cooperation, though Riyadh will not sign the Additional Protocol. The proposed measures would cover uranium conversion, enrichment, and reprocessing and are intended to be very close to, but not equal to, the Additional Protocol, drawing praise for strengthening safeguards while drawing criticism from non-proliferation groups.

Rachel Meyers If Riyadh really has nothing to hide, signing the full protocol costs them nothing. This half-measure just tells me there's a reason they won't.
