The Plateau State government has reiterated its call for the establishment of a state policing system to address the unique security challenges confronting the state.

The renewed demand was made by the Commissioner for Information and Communication, Joyce Ramnap, during a live programme on Dr Fish FM, Jos, where she restated Governor Caleb Mutfwang’s consistent advocacy for state police as a viable complement to federal security agencies.

Ramnap explained that while the state continues to collaborate with the regular security formations, the creation of a state police structure would ensure security is brought closer to the grassroots. She stressed that the peculiar realities of Plateau require localized solutions for rural safety and peacebuilding.

“The security challenges in Plateau demand tailored responses. Establishing a state police system remains a viable measure to safeguard our communities, particularly at the grassroots,” she said.

The Commissioner further assured that government is committed to strengthening security through personnel deployment, enhanced community vigilance, and continuous engagement with stakeholders. She urged residents to support ongoing reforms and cooperate with security agencies to consolidate peace and stability across the state.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is the latest tech executive to offer lengthy thoughts on how AI safety might be improved.

In a Saturday morning post on X, Nadella wrote that it’s time “to step back and assess the trust architecture” of AI.

“We can’t treat Super Intelligence as a set of nested black boxes and simply accept or reject its recommendations, answers, and actions,” Nadella wrote, using the Trump administration’s preferred term for AI. 

As outlined by Nadella, this approach “means separating the model from the harness that orchestrates its work,” as well as “externalizing controls and safeguards.” He also called for “every meaningful model action” to be documented with “tamper-proof human readable evidence,” and for systems where “an authorized person” always has the ability “to pause or shut down a model mid-task.”

“We must assume a model is compromised and contain it from the start,” he said. “Think of it like an emergency brake.”

Nadella’s comments come as leading AI companies acknowledge more and more incidents where they seemed to lose control of their models, and after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published a plan for more cautious AI development.
