Power does not announce itself. It accumulates.
Power & Ethics is ShortBulletin’s investigation into who controls
the systems that control us — and whether they should.
In the age of AI, data, and platform monopolies, the old
boundaries between public and private, legal and illegal,
acceptable and dangerous are being redrawn every day.
Who decides what an AI can say?
Who owns the data that describes your life?
Who is accountable when an algorithm makes a mistake
that costs someone their freedom, health, or livelihood?
Power & Ethics does not take sides.
It takes questions seriously.
Because in a world where information is power,
the most radical act is to ask: who benefits, and at whose expense?
Information is a tool. Insight is a weapon.
Use both wisely.
