Lessons from America's AI policy
In March 2026, the White House published a new policy framework for Artificial Intelligence (AI), comprising a set of legislative recommendations for the US Congress. It reflects the current administration's philosophy that AI regulation should not impede competitiveness, and aims to strike a balance between innovation, economic growth and safety.

Every crisis creates a new behaviour
Every crisis creates a new behaviour. Crises are not recorded in the annals of history just as events, but rather for their transformative power, impacting human behaviour. Anthropologists record the generalisation that 'behaviour is the most immediate casualty and the most enduring consequence of crisis.' Most of the time, what is adopted as a stopgap measure becomes the norm and then, over time, solidifies into a permanent pattern. The 2008 global financial crisis spurred a behavioura...

‘You cannot lose if you do not have a goal’: the viral wisdom of ‘Don Tzu’
For millennia, the wisdom of Chinese strategist Sun Tzu has guided leaders. His sayings, most famously collected in The Art of War, emphasise deception, careful preparation and understanding both your enemy and yourself. “Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.” “Supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting.” Today, a new master strategist has arisen, though his aphorisms emphasise careless blundering. “If you do not know what...

AI pessimism is a luxury the Global South cannot afford
No Ethiopian, Pakistani, Indian, Brazilian or other serious policymaker believes artificial intelligence will solve corruption or improve governance overnight. National policies such as Digital Ethiopia 2030, Pakistan’s National AI Policy 2025 or other initiatives in Chile, Argentina and Colombia consider AI as a means to enhance service delivery in healthcare, education, agriculture, taxation and disaster management, rather than as institutional reform. These are practical applications....

Of means and memes
Over the millennia, wars have been fought on many battlefields and have taken many forms. While the most common conception of a war is probably direct conflict one of the key areas in any conflict is communication.

When the search for truth yields to the comfort of silence
Universities have historically been revered as the highest seats of learning - sanctuaries where the intellect is sharpened and the soul is refined. In the classical Socratic and Stoic traditions, the primary objective of such learning was simple yet profound: to learn how to lead a "good life". This was not a pursuit of material wealth, but a quest for virtue, beauty, resilience and ethical clarity. However, as modern academia evolved, a second, more rigorous objective emerged: the sy...
