It’s been a busy week of discussions on AI at the UN General Assembly, and while most nations agree that a global effort is necessary for AI security, the Trump administration is an outlier. More here: www.politico.com/news/2026/09...

The world wants to secure AI. It may have to try without the US.
Proposals for global AI protections and guardrails abound this week at the U.N. General Assembly, but they can’t do much without the U.S. on board.

Good chat with @aarontmak.bsky.social about our POLITICO Magazine oped on the Trump AI doctrine. Helping big tech companies build chatbots while destroying government capacity isn’t how we win. Congress has a role to play to restore datasets and R&D and to make AI safe and effective for people.
