Working paper argues that 'simplicity by design' can only reduce bureaucracy if operationalised through outcome-first lawmaking, balanced democratic participation, disciplined use of exemptions, and mandatory ex post evaluation.

Open data platform for assessing climate-related physical risks.

Leading researchers from Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Yale, and Berkeley warn in Science about a new escalation in information warfare: coordinated AI agent swarms that autonomously infiltrate communities and fabricate consensus, threatening democratic processes worldwide.
