Memetic Capture: A Pluralistic Policy Framework for Governing AI-Driven Cultural Disempowerment
arXiv:2606. 07802v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Culture is the most insidious vector of gradual human disempowerment by AI: unlike economic or political displacement, cultural displacement attacks the very preferences and values through which humans recognise and resist disempowerment itself.

Lost in Translation: How Universal Ethical Values Fail to Translate Across Global Contexts
The paper titled "Lost in Translation: How Universal Ethical Values Fail to Translate Across Global Contexts" examines how AI ethics frameworks that assume values such as fairness, transparency, and accountability are universal actually differ in practice. By interviewing 14 experts from 10 countries, the authors find that these values are reinterpreted to fit local moral logics—privacy becomes collective, transparency becomes trust‑building, and fairness becomes equity in access—revealing translation gaps between global frameworks and local practices. The study proposes plural governance pathways that redistribute epistemic authority and treat ethical negotiation as an ongoing, context‑sensitive process.

Architecture Without an Architect? Global Governance of Artificial Intelligence in a Divided World
The essay reviews Matthijs Maas’s framework for global AI governance, highlighting the rapid, border‑less development of AI and the fragmented, non‑binding international responses. It argues that governance cannot rely on a single institutional blueprint but must account for the varied powers of states, international bodies, and private firms. The central challenge is shaping an evolving architecture amid actors with differing incentives and no shared plans.

Toward a New Science of AI as Cognitive Infrastructure
The paper proposes a new interdisciplinary field called Cognitive Infrastructure Studies (CIS) to examine how AI systems act as invisible, foundational cognitive infrastructures that shape what people can know and do in digital societies. It argues that these infrastructures, through anticipatory personalization and adaptive invisibility, automate relevance judgments and shift epistemic agency to non‑human systems. CIS offers methodological tools, such as infrastructure breakdown experiments, to uncover the hidden cognitive dependencies created by AI preprocessing across individual, collective, and societal levels.
