At the end of December 2025, something happened in Denmark that would have been unthinkable a decade ago. The state-owned postal service PostNord delivered its last letter, bringing to a close the history of an institution that had been operating continuously since 1624. Denmark was the first country in the world to completely abandon its national universal letter delivery service.

The US co-hosting one of the biggest sporting events on the planet, the FIFA World Cup, this summer has intensified pressure on federal officials to do more to prevent drones from disrupting proceedings. The Federal Emergency Management Agency, a part of DHS, last month gave $250 million to 11 states hosting World Cup matches to buy counter-drone technology.

Why is AI important enough for us to have to go through a recession, an economic crash, an increase in inequality, and the abuse of our planet?
