Waves of dissatisfaction with globalization, technological change, and financial imbalances have crested, transforming policy and public opinion in the United States.

Democracies worldwide are struggling in the face of disinformation. Malicious falsehoods can be damaging or even destabilizing, while countermeasures often don’t work and may compromise free expression or trigger backlash. One of the best tools for truth is journalism, but the vital role of news media is threatened by economic decline and loss of public trust. These problems stem in part from technology, particularly social media—and the rise of generative AI promises even more disruption.

Why was the International Court of Justice (ICJ) established? How is it structured, and what is the significance of having judges from different countries on the bench? How are they appointed, and what qualifications do they need to possess? The ICJ was established after World War II to advance the goal of getting countries to use laws and institutions to resolve their disputes instead of resorting to hostility and conflict.

The U.S.-Mexico relationship is one of the most fraught in U.S. foreign policy. It is also one of the most critical. Mexico is the largest trading partner of the U.S., and the choices made by American and Mexican policymakers frequently affect both countries’ public health, ecosystems, and law enforcement strategies. Mexico can play a valuable role in a more resilient U.S. supply chain, and as a source of economic growth across the region.

No, the British didn’t come close to solving every policy problem involving artificial intelligence (AI) during the UK AI Safety Summit last week. But as delegates from all over the world gathered outside London to discuss the policy implications of major advances in machine learning and AI, UK officials engineered a major diplomatic breakthrough, setting the world on a path to reduce the risks and securing greater benefits from this fast-evolving technology.

The world is witnessing unprecedented progress in artificial intelligence (AI) that promises to unlock solutions to urgent global challenges, from accelerating the energy transition to strengthening public health and combating global poverty. The pace of AI development and deployment also raises new risks related to safety and security, equity, and labor, among others. U.S. President Joe Biden’s recent executive order aims to manage these risks and support international efforts to govern AI.

Artificial intelligence has massive upside potential. It could revolutionize education, science, and art, and lead to a more prosperous and equitable world. But it also carries equally massive downside risk—not just for individuals but for society and human civilization itself. How do we avail ourselves of AI's benefits while minimizing its costs? That's a question that our two guests today have thought a lot about.

Russia’s war against Ukraine is the most documented conflict in history. In every part of Ukraine from which Russian forces have retreated, Ukrainian officials and civil society groups have found shocking evidence of mass atrocities and war crimes: torture, rape, summary executions, forced disappearances, looting, and the destruction of Ukrainian cultural heritage sites. The Ukrainian government is working around the clock to seek justice for the victims, even as the war rages on.

One of the questions we get most frequently from officials in Washington is: “Who’s winning the U.S.-China AI race?” The answer is simple and unsettling: Artificial intelligence is winning, and we’re nowhere near ready for what it will bring. In the past decade, cutting-edge AI systems moved from beating simple video games to solving decades-old scientific challenges such as protein folding, speeding up scientific discovery and accelerating the development of small-molecule drugs.
