Vox is a general interest news site for the 21st century. Its mission: to help everyone understand our complicated world, so that we can all help shape it. In text, video and audio, our reporters explain politics, policy, world affairs, technology, culture, science, the climate crisis, money, health and everything else that matters. Our goal is to ensure that everyone, regardless of income or status, can access accurate information that empowers them.

AI is improving at what feels like a breakneck pace. Once, it struggled with basic syntax; now, it can ace some college-level coursework. The better it gets, the more reason there is to worry about what it could soon mean for all of our jobs — and whether continued progress could doom many to a permanent economic underclass. In this month’s Highlight cover story, Eric Levitz examines the fatalistic futurist’s vision of “AGI-induced neofeudalism” and how it can still be avoided. Also in this issue: how police body cameras have turned from an accountability measure into YouTube content. A better way to think about caring for yourself. And why peanut butter is back in the lunchroom.

You don’t need better boundaries. You need a better framework.
