Washington Week with The Atlantic

Will we be ready when AI goes rogue?

Season 2026 Episode 36 | 16m 50s

It appears that artificial intelligence is about to go rogue and our government doesn’t have a plan for when it does. Jeffrey Goldberg and The Atlantic's Josh Tyrangiel discuss whether rogue AI is a sign of a coming collapse, or if this is another example of a new technology creating unnecessary fear and worry.
