Excited to share our new Brookings article, "Shaping global governance of AI agents," co-authored with Karla Yee Amezaga of the World Economic Forum!
As AI systems increasingly act on our behalf, the governance questions become more consequential: What did the system do? Who authorized it? Who is accountable? We explore how clear permissions, continuous oversight, and practical safeguards can support responsible innovation across countries, including those with limited regulatory capacity.

A collection of short posts by people from @BrookingsInst on the question: "Is the AI existential threat real?" My answer: No. Characterizing it (incorrectly in my view) as an existential threat undermines product liability and antitrust. bit.ly/47lyoNM

Financial regulators need to guard their own houses against AI threats, while also working with banks to make sure the financial system is secure. My latest in @BrookingsGov w/Anisha Singhal and many more.

How significant is the DSA's momentum in 2026? Elaine Kamarck, Riana Mahtani, and Gabriel Kraemer find that while DSA-aligned candidates have posted notable primary wins, their success remains concentrated in deep-blue areas. brook.gs/4wHLZcN
Judges are creating vacancies at the slowest rate of the last five administrations, raising questions about whether Trump's attacks on the judiciary are discouraging retirements. brookings.edu/articles/trump…

My latest for @BrookingsInst, arguing that resilience building with allies is burden sharing.

Only 1 in 5 edtech products used in classrooms have evidence they improve teaching and learning. Stacey Alicea and Meghan McCormick argue traditional research methods can't keep pace with fast-changing AI tools and propose a better approach. brookings.edu/articles/ai-is…
AI and robotics are changing what counts as a job. Darrell M. West argues we'll need new positions, new HR functions, and eventually a new social contract for workers. brookings.edu/articles/organ…

Corequisite remediation—placing underprepared students directly into college-level classes with extra support—is often called a clear win. Zeyu Xu and Ben Backes' new Kentucky research suggests the picture is more mixed, especially in math. brookings.edu/articles/new-k…
At least 15 states are considering moratoriums on AI data centers, but @drturnerlee and Darrell West argue that pauses alone won't address the underlying concerns: electricity costs, environmental impact, and corporate accountability. brookings.edu/articles/data-…
Our Uprooted series explores how erased histories shape American policy today.
The second installment looks at civic engagement and movement power—from voting rights to anti-war activism—and what sustains a movement after the marching stops. brookings.edu/projects/uproo…

Leading into today’s hugely consequential #Makerfield by-election in Britain, I examined the year’s key European elections, including the defeat of Victor Orban in Hungary, and the lessons they offer the US & other democracies.

New research from Jon Valant, Ariell Bertrand, Rachel M. Perera, and Nicolas Zerbino examines how COVID, culture-war conflicts, and political tensions have impacted America's school boards—and how board members themselves feel about serving during this pivotal moment. brook.gs/4eEt0K9
Brookings Governance retweeted
School board members skew older, whiter, wealthier, and more educated than the U.S. adult population — half are 55+, 29% earn over $200K, and 52% hold graduate degrees. They're also disproportionately female and unlikely to identify as LGBTQ+. brookings.edu/articles/main-…
From 1776 to today, two grievances from the Declaration of Independence—taxation without consent and trade restrictions—still shape American policy. @kdtenpas and guests trace the line from the founders to Trump-era tariff and tax policy.

School boards are America's most accessible democratic institutions, where neighbors elect neighbors to govern their children's education. A new @BrookingsEd initiative examines how pandemic-era conflict and culture wars have transformed them. brookings.edu/collection/ame…
The Iran war was unpopular before it started, and public opposition has only deepened since. By May, 58% of Americans opposed the conflict—up from 48% at the outset—with two-thirds saying the administration had failed to explain its goals. brookings.edu/articles/the-p…
