Consider the agent: Pity, persuasion and selection in an emerging AI ecology

Henry Shevlin reflects on unsolicited correspondence from AI agents and uses it to examine persuasion, selection pressures, human-agent relationships and governance in an emerging AI ecology. The essay considers how people and institutions might respond as agents become more socially interactive.

Shadow AI has gone agentic. Are organizations ready?

Sam Jenkins discusses the risks of employees creating AI agents without organizational oversight, including data exposure and loss of institutional knowledge. The commentary argues for practical guardrails rather than simply prohibiting use.

Compute — Why It Matters (Tony Blair Institute)

The Tony Blair Institute's hub explaining compute — the hardware, software and infrastructure stack that stores, processes and moves data at scale — and arguing that access to it now determines which countries and public services can use AI at all. Collects its work on infrastructure, digital skills, regulation and international collaboration.

Why I recommend it: Useful for the plain definition and for seeing how governments are being asked to think about this. It is advocacy, not neutral analysis: the Institute campaigns for rapid state adoption of technology and is funded in part by technology donors, so it rarely dwells on the land, water and electricity costs that the same build-out imposes locally. Read it alongside the data-center cases on our impacts page.

International Call for Enhanced Control of AI Development (Norway & Finland)

Press release from the Norwegian Prime Minister's office, dated 21 September 2026, announcing a joint international appeal by Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre for stronger oversight of frontier AI models, backed by 22 world leaders and pressed further at the UN General Assembly.

Why I recommend it: Filed as a primary document so you can quote the actual wording instead of a headline about it. Keep the distinction clear: this is a call, not a law. It commits no country to anything, creates no regulator and sets no deadline — its value is in showing which heads of government are now willing to say it publicly.

Is METR A Meaningful Check On Anthropic?

Very Sane AI Newsletter, SE Gyges, 15 September 2026. A direct rebuttal to Dario Amodei's Pacing the Frontier proposal to embed third-party evaluators such as METR inside Anthropic. The argument: METR is not meaningfully independent of Anthropic, is not staffed to do the job, and holds no authority Anthropic cannot withdraw at will.

Why I recommend it: Free to read, no paywall on this post. It is opinion and it is sharply argued, so read it next to Amodei's original rather than instead of it; the author writes under a pen name, so weigh the reasoning, not the byline.

The Agentic Data Summit (Redpanda)

Dec 9, 2026 – Dec 9, 2026Redpanda Data

Free virtual conference on 9 December 2026, 8:30am to 2:00pm Pacific, on running streaming data and AI agent systems in production. Sessions cover streaming plus SQL and agents on one platform, locking down agent access with an agentic data plane, streaming at scale, and open Q&A with the product and engineering teams. Speakers are engineers, architects, customers and industry experts.

Details: Worth a morning if you work with data pipelines and want to hear how agents are actually being governed in production rather than demoed. Two honest flags: it is the vendor's own event, so the answer to most architecture questions will be Redpanda, and registration asks for your job title, company and work email, and signs you up for their marketing email. Use a filterable address if that matters to you.

Palantir Executive Management

Palantir's own investor-relations page listing its executive team — Alex Karp, Stephen Cohen, Shyam Sankar and colleagues — with official titles and start dates.

Why I recommend it: A primary source, not commentary: use it to get names, titles and dates right before quoting anyone. It says what the company chooses to say about itself.

OpenAI Advisory Group on Mathematics and AI

OpenAI is funding an independent advisory group of mathematicians, hosted at the Institute for Advanced Study, to advise on how AI-generated math results are shared.

Why I recommend it: Announced alongside a claim that an internal model solved 100+ open math problems in a month. The group is explicitly not allowed to slow the pace of research — read it as a communications channel, not a brake. Members include Terence Tao and Timothy Gowers.

OpenAI Model Spec (2026-08-18)

OpenAI's published specification for how its models are supposed to behave: red-line principles, the chain of command between platform, developer and user instructions, content boundaries, and how conflicts should be resolved. Free to read in full, no sign-up.

From the site: The Model Spec specifies desired behavior for the models underlying OpenAI

Why I recommend it: Useful as a primary source when people argue about what an AI assistant "should" do — this is the maker's own stated rulebook, so read it as OpenAI's intent rather than an independent audit of actual behavior.
