For UK audiences. *To Run the World* is now available in paperback (as of last week), and can be purchased here: amazon.co.uk/Run-World-Krem…. Priced at £14.99, so never cheaper! Your leisurely beach reaching as the summer arrives.

Good piece on scientific discovery and AI by @profgeraintrees in today’s @FT . Sounds like we need a portfolio: some money spent on AI amplifying work in known areas; some money spent on new data collection in less well known areas. ft.com/content/0c63d0…

My latest in @EngelsbergIdeas Powerful individuals are gaining power at the expense of collective movements and institutions. Why this is happening, and will continue to happen, is because of how the brains of these leaders – and their followers – shape and respond to the world around them. Luckily, we know quite a bit about brains, and that can help make us optimistic in this latest revenge of the individual.

Alas, humans can never be fully “in the loop” controlling everything AI does - that’s an impossible goal, and the pursuit of it detracts from efforts to improve meaningful control that will always remain imperfect. ft.com/content/fedb26… The AI-driven ‘kill chain’ transforming how the US wages war

Good graph in @adam_tooze @ft I agree this will massively shift power in Europe - and thus the option of carrying on with separate national militaries brings big problems. But… building a huge EU army brings problems too. All options’ pluses and minuses must be compared. ft.com/content/244513…
