So the AI titans worry about bad PR the “day after” and are gaming out scenarios? They should hire criminal defense attorneys too. Revisit my @theatlantic.com and Early Warning on culpability after a “rogue” AI event.
Experts matter
My colleague Juliette Kayyem in The Atlantic: "surely the job of addressing the perils of AI shouldn’t be left to executives who stand to earn billions from the technology." She argues that a deadly AI-triggered event should lead to civil and criminal liability. @juliettekayyem.bsky.social
“Isaias” means “God saves” in Hebrew. Let’s hope it doesn’t find to that but this is one heck of a late season storm.
Well deserved. THE INHERITANCE is a deeply reported, beautifully written and surprising in so many ways. Read it. @janetreitman.bsky.social describes the last 25 years since 9/11 in a way that will change you.
I’m ecstatic to share that @publicaffairsbooks is publishing a second edition of my book, The Devil Never Sleeps, with a new afterword that unpacks the implications of AI and disinformation for disaster management. Read more in Early Warning.

In our divided times, sports can unify. This is such a great essay on “fandom” from my colleagues.
While midterm voters aren’t primarily motivated to cast their ballot based on foreign policy, the conflicts in both Gaza and Iran are shaping up to serve as proxies for both parties in November. Read more in today’s Early Warning brief:

"The “ostrich paradox” is a theory of human bias that explains why we consistently under-prepare for risks we know that are coming. Ostriches are understood to hide their heads in the ground when confronting danger. Humans, it turns out, often do the same. This includes presidents."
Trump’s attacks on the media are more than just about freedom of the press. But they are also about his threat avoidance especially with Iran war. On the Ostrich Paradox and Trump’s cognitive flailing. My new #EarlyWarning brief:

🔥🔥🔥I’m very honored that the New York Times highlighted my work on recovery after disasters in their Climate Edition magazine. This topic is especially meaningful for me and something I’ve discussed at length in my book, The Devil Never Sleeps, as well as several of my Early Warning posts. 1/2

In the age of constant climate disasters, the manipulation of data by the government costs lives. Read more about my thoughts on data and disaster management as I head to Climate Week in New York for Early Warning brief:
AI won’t kill us. The AI titans will. Let’s retire the word “rogue” because it denies responsibility.

"When AI executives warn of a catastrophe, they are not describing a product that is “going rogue.” Rather, the product is using capabilities that they have created." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0... @juliettekayyem.bsky.social on accountability for the AI titans
The AI titans use the word “rogue” to deny their own culpability, as if the dangers AI poses are just a mistake. Their language is the vocabulary of deniability. Don’t buy it. Read more in Early Warning.
I sat down with CNN to discuss the dangers of rapidly-evolving AI technologies and ways to circumvent these harms by using criminal laws to hold the companies accountable. Watch more on CNN and subscribe to Early Warning (link in bio) for a forthcoming brief that explores this topic further.
In an exclusive interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei reacts to an employee who quit over concerns that AI could wipe out humanity and discusses his proposal to slow down development of the technology.
