How do ordinary citizens think about AI and its associated risks cross-nationally—and how can we measure it?

Ever regret the timeliness of your research? I do. In December, the Foreign Policy in a Diverse Society project surveyed Americans about foreign aid. check out the results here: goodauthority.org/news/democra...
U.S. foreign aid is an issue dividing America.
Politics and partisanship shape how Americans view U.S. foreign aid, this survey finds. Here's the data from December 2024.

Trump threatened a trade war with Canada.
Canada doesn't want Trump's tariffs – or a trade war with the United States. Canadians across the political spectrum agree on that.

After American airspace was closed on 9/11, over 230 flights with 30,000 passengers and crew were diverted to Canadian airports. Transport Canada received thousands of calls from members of the public offering to help the stranded passengers.

Thinking about that today, for no particular reason.

Had such a great time talking about Adam Smith with @remiedwards.bsky.social. The real Smith was a radical critic of corporations, imperialists and enslavers and bears little resemblance to the Chicago School economists who would later pretend to be his heirs.

We've known this for well over a decade. It's taken courts this long because Google (and other tech giants) hoodwinked regulators into treating them with kid gloves. As I explain: research-api.cbs.dk/ws/portalfil...

Breaking news: A federal court has found that Google illegally abused its market power to quash competition, in a landmark win by the Justice Department against Big Tech.
Google is an illegal monopoly, federal court rules
The ruling is a victory for the DOJ, in the first of a string of federal antitrust lawsuits against Big Tech.
