In our latest Two Think Minimum podcast, TPI’s Scott Wallsten talks with Jeffrey Macher, Professor at Georgetown University, about new research on how generative AI is changing scientific publishing around the world. Macher discusses evidence that large language models are being adopted most rapidly by researchers in countries that are linguistically distant from English-speaking nations, and that the language of those papers is increasingly converging with the style of U.S.-based scientific publications. The conversation explores how this shift may expand global participation in research, intensify competition for journal space, and potentially influence long-run innovation and U.S. competitiveness, while also raising questions about how researchers, reviewers, and journals will adapt as AI tools become ubiquitous.

In this episode of Two Think Minimum, Ambassador Steve Lang, currently a senior advisor at Crest Hill Advisors and non-resident senior associate with CSIS, discusses WRC-27. He is a veteran diplomat and international policy leader. Steve Lang was confirmed by the Senate as U.S. Coordinator of International Communications and Information Policy, with the rank of Ambassador in 2024, and served in that role until 2025. He also served as the Deputy Assistant Secretary for International Information and Communications Policy from 2022. As coordinator, Steve led U.S. delegations to numerous international conferences and negotiations, including WRC-23. In his 30-year career as a U.S. diplomat, Steve has served in Japan, Mexico, China, Taiwan, Thailand, and Cuba.
