From the UK to New York City, a certain kind of liberalism is losing energy, confidence and connection to the people it claims to represent. The way forward for liberalism is not to abandon it. It is to recover its radical spirit. My take:

On GPS, at 10am & 1pm ET Sunday on @CNN … • We are 31 days from the midterm elections, and Pres. Trump is in full campaign mode for GOP candidates. I sat down with the ever-opinionated @billmaher to discuss the looming vote & the future of the Democratic Party • Nearly three years have passed since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack. How has the Middle East changed since? And how long will the Iran war last? I’ll hear from former Biden Middle East adviser @brett_mcgurk, who has written a new book on his most recent spell in the White House, “Brink: Inside the Race to Free the October 7th Hostages” • AI will affect different countries differently, across developing & advanced economies. I sat down with Greek Prime Minister @kmitsotakis & @WorldBankGroup Pres. Ajay Banga to discuss how the technology is being used around the world • Free trade has been under fire in recent years, but @WTO Director-General @NOIweala tells me why she is fundamentally optimistic about its future

After 2008, we regulated American banks - and they now dominate the world. We could do the same with AI. washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

AI dominance will not belong simply to the country that builds the most powerful models fastest. It will belong to the country whose AI the world is willing to trust. My latest column: washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

As AI starts to perform better than humans at many jobs, what does it leave for human beings to do that is special and unique? I put that question to @Microsoft co-founder @BillGates in the second part of our conversation:

AI will either be the greatest equalizer ever invented, or the worst source of injustice.” That is Bill Gates’ warning. But is there anything we can do to ensure AI doesn’t deepen inequality around the world? My conversation with @Microsoft co-founder @BillGates:

Remember Ratko Mladic, the "Butcher of Bosnia"? The Bosnian-Serb commander died last month while serving a life sentence for genocide and war crimes for his role in the 1990s war in the Balkans. Why did he receive a hero’s funeral in Serbia? I asked Serbian President @avucic:

France is leading the push for a more integrated Europe that can act strategically and independently of the United States. But can these new policies survive the country's surge in right-wing, Euroskeptic populism? I asked French Foreign Minister @jnbarrot on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly this week:

This month, US negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner made their first trip to Ukraine. Will these and other diplomatic efforts to end the war amount to anything? I spoke to @jonasgahrstore and @alexstubb on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly:

The US and China are deeply intertwined. To manage their interdependence going forward, they should build alternatives where an unacceptable vulnerability exists. But where economic ties benefit both, Washington and Beijing shouldn't destroy them simply to prove toughness. My take:

On GPS, at 10am & 1pm ET today on @CNN: I’ll talk with Norwegian Prime Minister @jonasgahrstore & Finnish Pres. @alexstubb about Ukraine peace efforts, French Foreign Minister @jnbarrot about Europe’s push for strategic independence, Serbian President @avucic about a war criminal’s honorific funeral, and @BillGates about mitigating AI risks

On GPS, at 10am & 1pm ET Sunday on @CNN … • This month, US envoys Witkoff & Kushner made their first trip to Ukraine. Will these & other efforts to end the war amount to anything? I’ll talk with the leaders of two countries that have been ardent supporters of Ukraine since the war began: Norwegian Prime Minister @jonasgahrstore & Finnish Pres. @alexstubb • After that, I’ll ask French Foreign Minister @jnbarrot about Europe’s push for strategic independence from the US—and whether populist skeptics of the EU, NATO & support for Ukraine could disrupt that effort • This month, a Bosnian-Serb war criminal received a hero’s funeral in Serbia amid a concerning rise in nationalism. I asked Serbian President @avucic about it this week • @BillGates has warned that AI “will either be the greatest equalizer ever invented or the worst source of injustice.” We’ll discuss how to mitigate AI risks & whether some jobs should always be done by humans

What Trump and Xi Could Learn From Darwin. washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

Presidents Trump and Xi are searching for ways to work together despite the rivalry between the two countries. They might take a look at a surprising case of quiet cooperation involving American and Chinese tech: the Hugging Face incident — and how it ended. My latest column: washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

Had a great conversation with @profgalloway on the Prof G Pod! Check it out: piped.video/watch?v=luyu9m6Y…

As the midterms approach, @DanaBashCNN took us through pivotal elections in American history featured in her new book "The Elections That Changed the World":

Journalist Jacob Weisberg has written a bold new book called "Profiles in Cowardice," which looks at eight powerful Americans who he believes showed moral failure by not standing up to Donald Trump. Who are they? I sat down with @jacobwe:

The conflict between Saudi Arabia and the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen is escalating, after Houthi rebels seized more land along Yemen’s Red Sea coast. Could the fighting spiral out of control? My conversation with @AtlanticCouncil’s @AllisonMinor_:

Can we rein in AI without slowing down innovation? In part 2 of our conversation, @MicrosoftAI CEO @mustafasuleyman explained to me why industry-wide "embedded evaluators" could be a promising first step:
