What we study
01
Pillar One

Democratic Governance
& Information Integrity

How synthetic media, automated persuasion, and algorithmic information systems reshape elections, public discourse, and the legitimacy of democratic institutions, and what legal, structural, and strategic responses can hold the line.

Synthetic political content is no longer an edge case. It circulated in every major election of the past two years, and most voters cannot reliably tell it apart from the real thing.

02
Pillar Two

Economic &
Institutional Stability

As AI reorders labor markets, capital allocation, and the machinery of the state, stability depends on institutions that can adapt faster than shocks arrive. Our work focuses on the interventions that make adaptation possible without concentrating power.

The question is no longer whether AI reshapes work and institutions, but whether adaptation happens by design or by default.

03
Pillar Three

Human Agency
& Social Systems

Autonomy is the quiet casualty of systems that nudge, optimize, and decide on our behalf. We study the conditions under which individuals, families, and communities retain meaningful choice as AI mediates more of daily life.

For most of humanity, news, credit, opportunity, and connection now arrive pre-filtered by systems optimized for engagement rather than wellbeing.
