Recommending Ben Buchanan's "The AI Triad and What It Means for National Security" as the first read for policy-oriented readers: his taxonomy of algorithms, data, and compute still works six years later, and 2024 user interviews showed it was the most-cited piece in an AI governance course.
Also featured: William A. Gamson's "Defining Movement \"Success\"", a four-quadrant explainer on how social movements collapse, get co-opted, get pre-empted, or fully succeed.
