# Washington Week with The Atlantic full episode, Sept. 4, 2026

Free with YouTube's ads, posted by Washington Week PBS.

There’s not much that unites Americans these days, but loathing for data centers does. Anxiety about AI is behind some of the hate, but maybe the thing to worry about is that AI is about to go rogue and our government doesn’t have a plan for when it does. On a special edition of Washington Week, Jeffrey Goldberg sits down with The Atlantic's Josh Tyrangiel, author of “AI for Good."
