The time is ripe. The top executives of the largest AI companies are on board. Regulation certainly won’t bankrupt the big AI players. Now, it have to be the governments in international consultation that must determine a framework. Without further delay.

It is high time to rein in AI

In his weekly column N. Peter Kramer writes about the global discussion about Artificial Intelligence, the need for quick regulation, and points to international treaties from the 20th century.


Just as importantly, BRICS has expanded beyond its original membership through partner countries and the BRICS Plus format, allowing dozens of emerging economies to engage with a platform that increasingly claims to speak for developing nations. The real story, however, was the New Delhi Declaration itself.

Beyond the Brussels Bubble: BRICS’ Expanding Power Cannot Be Ignored

As media attention focuses on von der Leyen’s SOTEU, the BRICS summit in New Delhi reveals how emerging powers are building an alternative centre of global influence.

"Restoring confidence in the UN must begin with treating every member of the international community in a fair and just way. Transformation cannot be complete while a constructive and trustworthy member remains unjustly excluded."

Restoring trust: Taiwan’s rightful place in the free world

The rules-based international order is under growing strain as authoritarian states seek to weaken its safeguards and reshape international rule to serve their own interests.
