Neil Thompson: Forecasting AI’s Impact on Human Expertise and the Future of Work
AI is advancing rapidly at the cognitive tasks that make up knowledge work, raising fears among firms, policymakers, and, not least, workers of a “China shock” for white-collar jobs. Neil Thompson will present new research on whether those fears are warranted.

This methodological paper presents the Global AI Vibrancy Tool, an interactive suite of visualizations designed to facilitate cross-country comparisons of AI vibrancy across countries, using indicators organized into pillars. The tool offers customizable features that enable users to conduct in-depth country-level comparisons and longitudinal analyses of AI-related metrics.

Daniel Rock | The Free Hypothesis: AI and Shifted Bottlenecks in Science
Scientific progress is a key driver of economic growth and prosperity. There is great excitement- but also concerns- about the impacts of AI on science, but so far little data. We provide early insights on this from three data sources: a sample of 15 million Gemini interactions, an inventory of over 2,600 specialized AI models across disciplines, and a survey of over 600 scientists.

The Commercial Landscape of AI Sovereignty Offerings
This brief surveys the commercial AI sovereignty market and argues that policymakers should focus on calibrating interdependence rather than pursuing full self-sufficiency.

"Steampunk" Self-Learning Mechanical Circuits That Adapt to Their Environments
Researchers at Stanford have invented a new type of self-powered mechanical circuits that learn. It could lead to new purely mechanical machines that understand and adapt to the changing world around them.
