The quote is not authentic as stored. The provided Eurasia Group landing page does not contain either quoted sentence; it only gives a one-line Risk 8 summary, and text searches on that page return no matches. In the official Top Risks 2026 PDF, the first idea appears separately as: an AI boom that represents the greatest opportunity and danger humanity has ever created, and it comes with next to no governance, alignment, or coordination; that report is explicitly co-written/signed by Ian Bremmer and Cliff Kupchan, so it is not a single-author Ian Bremmer quote. The report’s Risk 8 wording is also different: Social media captures your attention. AI programs your behavior, shapes your thoughts, and mediates your reality. The exact stored wording Social media captured attention; AI programs behavior, shapes thoughts, and mediates reality appears instead in Ian Bremmer’s TIME piece dated January 6, 2026. So the stored quote is a stitched, altered composite from different sources/dates, and the cited source URL is wrong. ([eurasiagroup.net](https://www.eurasiagroup.net/issues/top-risks-2026))

The quote is not cleanly authentic as presented. In the Top Risks 2026 report, the official wording is that there is "an AI boom that represents the greatest opportunity and danger humanity has ever created. And it comes with next to no governance, alignment, or coordination," and that intro is signed by both Ian Bremmer and Cliff Kupchan. Separately, Eurasia Group’s official 2026 press summary says, "Social media captured attention; AI programs behavior, shapes thoughts, and mediates reality." Axios also attributes the first clause to Bremmer and Cliff Kupchan together. So the submitted text appears to stitch together separate passages and alter the first sentence, rather than reproduce a verbatim quote attributable to Ian Bremmer alone.
