Chain-reaction chaos threatens to unleash new risks on the world
TL;DR
Eye-opening revelations this past week have solidified my personal fears about the year ahead: As a nation and as a globe, we're facing a record number of wild risks that are way outside our control. My growing hunch about this scenario has been bolstered by daily conversations with CEOs, government insiders and top investors. Why it matters: It feels likely — not certain — that between now and 2028, we'll face society-level disruptions, possibly including cyberattacks and fast-twitch economic shocks.
Nauti's Take
For AI teams, the first task is a source and stress test: map which external services, data sources, and automated decisions depend on one another. Then simulate the failure of a model, provider, or payment path and define a manual fallback.
The chain reaction remains a hypothesis, while the dependencies can already be measured.
