Governance, Power & Society

Who's in control, and who it affects

AI is concentrating power - over information, decisions and economic opportunity - in ways that demand serious attention. Regulations are taking shape around the world. Accountability mechanisms are being developed. Geopolitical competition is reshaping who controls AI capability. And the societal consequences extend well beyond any single organisation: labour market disruption, inequality, civil liberties, misinformation... plus the long-running debates about AI safety and existential risk. These aren't abstract concerns - they shape the regulatory environment every business operates in, the public trust that AI products depend on, and the kind of future this technology is building.
