Agentic AI Governance: Securing Autonomous AI Agents in Enterprise

When AI agents start making decisions, calling tools, and coordinating with other agents without waiting for human approval, the governance playbook most...

Can AI Be Governed? Only If We Build Normatively Competent AI

Hadfield's discussion brings the idea of AI governance back to the core idea of steering the behavior of an AI system. As she notes, this not only involves technical questions about how AI systems ar...

From chatbots to assistants: governance is key for AI agents

AI's shift into agentic technology ushers in a new set of governance and security challenges that will mean defining to what extent they should be autonomous

Researchers Detail How AI Systems Can Enable Authoritarianism

A new preprint study of authoritarianism-enabling AI presents another set of evidence of the gaps in safeguards, writes Tim Bernard.

How AI Destroys Institutions

Civic institutions—the rule of law, universities, and a free press—are the backbone of democratic life. They are the mechanisms through which complex societies encourage cooperation and stability, while also adapting to changing circumstances. The real superpower of institutions is their ability to evolve and adapt within a hierarchy

Existing Human Institutions — AGI Institutions Wiki

How existing human institutions handle coordination across scales — and how autonomous AI agents break them. Maps protocols, preferences, rights, incentives, expertise, norms, and thick commitments from dyadic to global.

AI Scientists as Engines of Discovery: A Case for Development within Reformed Institutions

Agentic artificial intelligence (AI) systems are beginning to assist, accelerate, and partially automate scientific discovery, performing tasks that span literature synthesis, code generation, data analysis, hypothesis proposal, and model criticism. We argue that this transition is qualitative rather than incremental, and that suitably designed multi-agent systems may evolve from passive computational tools into ``AI scientists'' that can expand the hypothesis-generating and verification capacity of science. Such systems must be developed and deployed within a scientific ecosystem fit for purpose: institutions must be redesigned for verification, accountability, interpretability, and dual-use safety. We sketch how multi-agent architectures, illustrated by the prototype framework \textit{Denario}, accelerate the discovery cycle and traverse model spaces beyond human reach; examine what this implies for authorship, peer review, and the enduring role of human scientists; and close with recommendations for governing AI as an epistemic actor rather than a mere instrument.
