Gray Swan AI, a new startup founded by Pittsburgh programmers, is hoping to save AI developers from themselves. “Other companies are very much focused on increasing capabilities because there's a lot of competitive pressure,” said co-founder Matt Frederickson. “But if we can really just focus on solving safety and security issues ... I think we can actually be ahead of the game and push the research frontier of this field."

With Downtown reeling from high office vacancies and plunging real estate values, draft legislation before the state Legislature would allow the city to impose new taxes or fees or divert revenue from existing taxes to help with revitalization efforts. Under the bill, money raised through the taxes or fees could be used to help fund the conversion of faltering office buildings to residential or to fill ground-floor or lower-level commercial spaces. Funds also could be earmarked to advance “critical infrastructure and amenity projects within the public realm that improve the overall quality of life necessary for attracting and retaining residents, businesses and visitors to downtown areas.”

Maybe the third time will be the charm for the owner of Station Square. New York-based Brookfield Properties has put the South Side restaurant, entertainment, and office complex up for sale, the third time in the last 12 years it has hit the market. The listing comes at a time when the sprawling real estate on the Monongahela riverfront next to the Smithfield Street Bridge has struggled to regain its mojo coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic, which had a devastating impact on retail and office properties alike.

Maybe Pittsburghers are just homebodies. On average, office attendance nationwide hit 70.6% of pre-COVID-19 levels in June, the highest rate since the pandemic started in March 2020, according to a study by the Jones Lang LaSalle real estate firm. But in Downtown Pittsburgh, more employees are still staying away from the office. Officials at the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership estimated that the office workforce in June returned to 60% of pre-pandemic 2019. That’s lower than it was in July 2023 when it reached 63%, the highest level since the pandemic. #workfromhome #downtown #office #pittsburgh

As West Virginia University students begin packing their belongings for the start of the fall semester, pistols and revolvers could be boxed up alongside backpacks, bed sheets and winter coats. That’s because of the state’s new Campus Self-Defense Act, which requires West Virginia’s higher education institutions to allow licensed concealed carry on their campuses, with some exceptions. The law, which went into effect July 1, makes West Virginia the 13th state to require its colleges to allow concealed carry on campus.

Pennsylvania’s ambition to launch a first-in-the-country industrial decarbonization program scored a $396 million grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, one of the largest among the 25 awards announced on Monday. The money will kick-start its Rise PA program, which stands for Reducing Industrial Sector Emissions in Pennsylvania, and takes on the biggest source of carbon emissions in the state, and the one that has been stubbornly increasing even as other sectors of the economy have seen emissions fall over the past two decades.
