"I have no tolerance for it – nor the ever encroaching, constant conversation we keep having about it...it’s all so f-ing boring."
This was the response from Gen Z's favourite internet boyfriend Jacob Elordi when asked about AI. He's not alone, among the young it's v unpopular
In my latest post I explore why, whether the trend matters or not, and what it means for the latest Anthropic vs OpenAI rivalry.
Featuring The Beatles, Anna Wintour, Jeff Bezos and those viral 'thinking caps' at @AirMailWeekly

Two years ago I wrote in the FT about how the Biden-Xi Summit in San Francisco was a missed opportunity for the two superpowers to make progress on AI cooperation.

But it does mean that there is a huge opportunity in Trump’s state visit to China this week to look beyond the notion of AI as an 'arms race'.
I'd be amazed if, in 2026, there is still no agreement or even dialogue about cooperation on AI risk.
Thank you David!
Post with some books I enjoyed reading last year, including Joseph Roth, @ShippersUnbound, @mustafasuleyman, @verityharding, @JamieMetzl, Tony Blair and @NateSilver538 artemon.substack.com/p/ip30-…
I was asked to write a prediction for @WIRED “The World in 2025” bumper edition, so I wrote about AI & geopolitics:
‘It’s time to move past AI nationalism’
Lots of other great pieces in there too, pick up the physical magazine if you see it.

Thanks to Behavioral Scientist @behscientist for naming 'AI Needs You' one of their top books of 2024!

The first full report from the AI & Geopolitics Project, my research group at Cambridge, is out today. We go beyond the simplistic 'AI arms race' narrative and explore practical, realistic opportunities for international collaboration on AI. Kudos to @AlTurobov for leading this!
Our new AIXGEO report—Moving Beyond Competition—explores emerging opportunities for international cooperation in AI.
@AlTurobov, @DianeCoyle1859 & @verityharding argue that smaller-scale collaborations in specific AI domains could result in real progress.

It’s an honour to have Angela on our AIxGEO advisory board and even more to have someone her calibre and expertise find our report unique and useful.
So many writings on AI but they rarely the international aspect, so this report is important and timely. Rather than deploring AI global fragmentation, the report outlines practical steps to make process. Great work by @AITurobov, @DianeCoyle1859 & @verityharding

The AI race doesn't have to be zero-sum.
International organisations already find natural alignment in specific domains, where competition naturally transforms into collaboration, not through grand agreements.

Any of my NYC followers who want to be lucky enough to get an early copy of this exceptional book too — @mrianleslie has some good news for you:
Beautiful from Helen Thompson on the genius, wonder and complexity of McCartney
I am very grateful to Jason Cowley for giving me in his last edition of the @NewStatesman the chance to write about Paul McCartney and the Beatles, my first and longest music love.

Excited to learn that the new Netflix film 'Joy', about the first baby born using IVF, shows just how controversial it was at the time in the media and public opinion. I wrote a chapter about this period of frontier science in my book--and what it tells us about this moment in AI
Stars Bill Nighy, Thomasin McKenzie, James Norton, and the world's first IVF-born baby Louise Brown visited the London Film Festival and sat down with @thomasduke98 to discuss their experience filming Joy, premiering on Netflix 22 November.
My piece in the @FinancialTimes on the lessons from Napster for AI & creativity
Anxious about the US election? Why not distract yourself by reading my latest piece for @FT on the lessons of Napster for the age of AI!

So pleased to see this. I wrote in my book about the need for politicians to use their convening power to try and direct AI to more purposeful and beneficial uses, rather than focusing only on risk and protectionism. Better late than never!
