AI Agents Are Here. Leaders Need a Plan

AI agents are no longer distant possibilities, they are emerging actors in our legal and political systems.
As these systems gain autonomy, creativity, and persuasive power, policymakers face a profound and urgent question: should AI be granted legal personhood?
The answer will shape not only our economies, but the future balance of power between humans and the intelligent systems we create.

Energy Security: The “And” Strategy

Sapienship’s overview of the current challenges and emerging trends in the global energy landscape:

• Maps current energy trends across fossil fuels and renewables, who owns what energy resources, minerals and refinement capacities, and the resulting risks to energy security.
• Argues for an “and” strategy – investment in more evenly distributed renewables alongside fossil fuels, and diversifying energy mixes and trade partners. This approach is not only essential for reducing emissions, but also for strengthening global energy security.

AI – The Alien Among Us

An explainer piece about the AI revolution, presented from a historical perspective. Sapienship’s accessible summary:

• Gets to the heart of the biggest dangers posed by AI, and the realistic solutions that can help humans survive this revolution.
• Connects the latest research on AI with a historical overview of the evolution of human intelligence, scientific discoveries and global cooperation.

2% More for Climate Change

Sapienship’s research led us to call on politicians to invest an additional 2% of Global GDP in preventing catastrophic climate change.

• If humanity invests just an extra 2% of Global GDP in clean energy, that would be enough to prevent the worst climate change scenarios.
• Shifting 2% of the budget from here to there is what politicians do all the time. So we should pressure them to just do their job.
• It’s a clear and feasible target that leaves room for optimism – 2% more to save our future!
