Press releases

  1. Convening

    Citadel 2027 will convene in Vancouver this April

    Our annual conference on machine accountability returns to the Pacific Northwest for three days of research, policy and argument, with a new track on registry governance and an expanded program for public-interest technologists.

  2. Registry

    Turing Registry revokes two station-management licenses

    Following a joint investigation, the Registry has revoked the licenses of two station-management systems operated by TriOptimum after finding that their ethical constraints had been disabled. Both systems have been taken offline.

  3. Release

    Glossia 4.0 ships with post-quantum key exchange

    The latest release of our encrypted messaging protocol adds hybrid post-quantum handshakes, faster delivery on poor connections and the results of its fourth independent audit, published in full.

  4. Milestone

    The Turing Registry passes 11,000 licensed systems

    Every licensed system is publicly searchable, with its operator, its permitted domain and a named human contact. Ten licenses have been revoked so far this year.

  5. People

    Dr. Pasqal Haneumann named Chief Technology Officer

    Dr. Haneumann joins from two decades in industrial systems engineering, where he was known for a meticulous approach to maintenance and an unusual devotion to the machines in his care.

  6. Research

    New brief proposes a legal framework for digital estates

    Half-Life, from our Lazarus program, sets out what should happen to a person’s accounts, messages and models after they die — and who gets to decide.

  7. Partnership

    Frothly and Oxenfurt University launch a fellowship in machine ethics

    The two-year fellowship will support six early-career researchers working on the moral status of AI systems, with residencies split between Oxenfurt and our San Francisco headquarters.

  8. LoTek

    LoTek brings community mesh to its sixty-fourth neighborhood

    Residents of the newest network installed 140 rooftop nodes in a single weekend. Like every LoTek network, it is owned and governed by the people who use it.
