There is no silent spring this #EarthDay, because of the scientists, politicians and corporate leaders who took action as environmental threats loomed in the 20th century. What can we learn from systems ecologists for the potential age of autonomous AI in the 21st? My latest in @theglobeandmail.com

Do we need a Silent Spring for the AI era? Underneath the AI noise, I keep thinking about Bikini Atoll, DDT, ozone layer. We keep releasing powerful things into complex systems and assuming we can contain the consequences. We've been here before. ☢️🌿🤖 www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/b79cb1a...

Are we approaching the ‘Silent Spring’ of artificial intelligence?
There is a rapidly accumulating body of evidence about the risks AI can pose if given too much autonomy

You Say You Want (Them to Have) a Revolution... The US has a long history of encouraging citizens abroad to revolt, but rarely follow through with support. Hungary. Cuba. Afghanistan. Iraq. Will Iran be different? My take in @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/03/04/o...

Governments in the US and Canada are taking advantage of the line between journalism and activism. My take on what the Don Lemon and Amber Bracken cases mean for press freedom. www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/5431b55...

The blurring line between journalism and activism is being used as a cudgel
Who gets to decide who’s a reporter, and who’s an activist? The answer matters for press freedom

Canada's largest paper, @thestar.com, asked me to weigh in on the @60minutes.bsky.social Bari Weiss saga. For me, it comes down to a flawed media landscape where the firewall between editorial and corporate have crumbled. bit.ly/Star-60

I’m a former ‘60 Minutes’ producer. Here’s why this scandal raises concerns about corporate meddling in media
The largely indelible firewall between news and corporate has crumbled at CBS News, and we’re seeing cracks at other major news organizations.

I grew up listening to my dad playing recordings of Hungary's greatest comedian, Géza Hofi. I got to thinking recently about Hofi's dangerous antics during the height of the Cold War, and wrote this piece about the risks to American comedy today. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

I keep hearing that the detentions like those of Columbia student Mahmoud Khalil and Tufts student Rümeysa Öztürk are unprecedented. As I wrote in @nytimes, these kinds of investigations and detentions were common after 9/11, as well as previously in US history. www.nytimes.com/2007/01/04/o...
