AI Governance

Mythos, Fable and GPT-5.6: has the era of state control over frontier AI begun?

Dani Lupión, secretary of PauseAI España and a software engineer with more than twenty years in the industry, examines recent episodes of government restriction on frontier models, including the suspension and later restoration of access to Mythos and Fable, to ask whether these events mark the start of a more direct era of state intervention over frontier AI development, and what this means for AI safety.

As secretary of PauseAI España, the local branch of the global organisation that advocates for a controlled pause in the development of frontier artificial intelligence until institutional safety guarantees are in place, Dani brings something uncommon within this movement, the perspective of someone who has worked inside the software industry itself for more than twenty years, currently as Principal Software Engineer at The Workshop, and who, despite knowing the sector from the inside, firmly argues that the AI race needs to be slowed down before going any further.
