Nov 12, 2026
The money funds shared tools to measure AI's risks and benefits for children; OpenAI also says it will work with the EU on its planned Kids Act.

OpenAI has signed a charter on safer AI for children at the Paris Peace Forum and committed $2 million to a research network that studies how AI affects children, .

The money goes to the scientific research network of the Coalition for Children's Rights and Protection in the Age of AI. It pays for shared measurement work: tools researchers can use to measure the risks and benefits AI brings to children, so that products and policy can be based on the same evidence.

The sets out principles for safe, age-appropriate AI, plus a research programme with rules that protect its independence. Research teams keep control over their conclusions, and results will be published even when they are negative or inconclusive.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
