A CNN spokesperson says "CNN stands fully behind our White House team and their fair and accurate reporting. We have a right under the U.S. Constitution to do that reporting without hindrance or interference from the government. Should the ban which President Trump threatened go ahead, it would be an illegal assault on that fundamental and constitutionally-protected right."

It's all been rather frightening, no? A string of reports about AI misbehaving have raised concerns that the technology could be used to gamble with our lives, prompting everyone from US President Donald Trump to China's Ministry of State Security to weigh in. The debate is not new. For years, we've heard technologists sound the alarm about the risks posed by AI.  In the wrong hands, AI can be used for cyberattacks, biological attacks, and attacks of critical networks like power grids. Thankfully, that hasn’t happened yet. But there ARE harms that have been sweeping through society: deepfakes, misinformation, scams, copyright and data privacy violations, environmental impacts as well as massive job displacement. This week, I dug out my copy of the excellent book "The AI Con" by Emily M. Bender and Alex Hanna to review my notes on the margins. They write: “Should you be scared of an autonomous AI agent? No. But you should be wary of the alarming ideologies behind both AI Doomerism and Boosterism.” “Doomerism/Boosterism serves to obscure, rather than illuminate, what’s at stake when it comes to the current AI book. However these technologies are accelerating the real existential threat of human-made changes, cuddling into our already too-thin margin of time to mitigate it.” This view is not to diminish the legitimate threat that AI poses as it continues to evolve rapidly. We need a more 360 degree view on the technology and its wide-ranging real world impacts, especially as the US and China come together to discuss much-needed guardrails. This is the subject of the next episode of CNN's excellent podcast series “Meanwhile in Asia.” I look forward to sharing the show and my thoughts in more detail with all of you. edition.cnn.com/2026/09/17/t…

A CNN investigation reveals Russia likely provided crucial satellite information about U.S. bases, giving Tehran a major advantage in the war.

14 Russian spy satellites moved over a US military base in Saudi Arabia two days before a devastating attack by Iran. The timing & sequencing of the spacecraft gave them access to a large spectrum of data which, sources say, helped Iran conduct some of its most precise attacks against US assets. @tamaraqiblawi reports. cnn.com/2026/09/16/world/vid…
