In democracies, conflicts about AI regulation will transcend technical disagreements; they will also provoke value-laden disagreements about how society regulates values and practices that may initially seem to implicate “private” decisions about speech or association that obviously shape what people value.
Former Carnegie President (2021-2026)
Mariano-Florentino (Tino) Cuéllar was previously the tenth president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. A former justice of the Supreme Court of California, he has served three U.S. presidential administrations at the White House and in federal agencies, and was the Stanley Morrison Professor at Stanford University, where he held appointments in law, political science, and international affairs and led the university’s Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies.

AI technology has proliferated extensively and offers authoritarian leaders three crucial advantages: scale, speed, and efficiency. As a result, it has undoubtedly become a crucial tool of repression. But AI tools also give individuals and activists the means to organize, resist, and hold their governments accountable. Today, it is far more difficult for autocratic leaders to hide their corrupt practices and govern in darkness.

The world is at a critical inflection point, where a combination of ever more powerful AI systems, accelerating proliferation, and a corresponding norms vacuum is setting up a dangerous set of conditions.

AI capabilities are moving fast. Most institutions—including governments—can’t keep up.
