Russia’s invasion of Ukraine breaks the biggest taboo of the international order. Since 1945, no internationally recognized state was wiped off the map by external conquest. Russia is trying to do just that to Ukraine. Putin is following the imperial principle that any territory conquered by the Russian army is annexed by the Russian state. If Russia wins, no state and no border could feel secure, and the world will enter a new era of imperialist wars of conquest. The Global Peace Summit that will convene on June 15 in Switzerland is a crucial chance to restore peace and order. I urge world leaders to attend the summit, and together bring peace to Ukraine and to the world. Without peace in Ukraine, humanity cannot defend itself against climate change, out-of-control AIs, or any of the other existential threats that endanger our species.

How will #AI impact our immediate and near future? Can the technology be controlled? Does it have agency? Interesting to discuss these questions with @mustafasuleyman and @zannymb, hosted by the @TheEconomist.
