Today’s brief covers useful themes: AI in diplomacy by C. Raja Mohan, Trump’s war and democratic errors by Joseph E. Stiglitz, and judicial independence during the Emergency by Amit A Pai.

The first article by C. Raja Mohan focuses on why India’s diplomatic system must treat AI as a serious state-capacity issue.

The second article by Joseph E. Stiglitz shows how weak checks and balances can turn one leader’s error into global disorder.

Amit A Pai’s article reminds us that judicial independence means courage in action, not just a line in the Constitution.

UPSC has previously asked questions on today’s theme- AI & privacy (GS-III 2023); democratic backsliding, Trump’s impact on EU/WTO (PSIR 2025); judiciary’s power via PIL and Part III remedies (GS-II 2024, PSIR-I 2024); and State self-restraint as democratic success—tying Emergency to civil liberties (PSIR-I 2023).
