This week, The Daily examined how institutions and systems—from financial markets to artificial intelligence to democracy itself—are being fundamentally challenged and reimagined. The episodes explore both the rebels pushing for change, like the A.I. researcher upending the field, and the skeptics questioning whether those institutions can adapt, as reflected in Aaron Sorkin's defense of American governance. Across economics, politics, and technology, the week's stories reveal a moment of genuine uncertainty about what comes next.
