We should take care not to allow our desire to attach human qualities to the non-human to mask the serious issue at hand—who is accountable when AI models go wrong?

The August 5, 2026 media interaction at the Foreign Correspondents' Club South Asia (FCC South Asia) in Delhi by ousted Awami League leader Sheikh Hasina appears to have triggered a full-scale diplomatic spat between Bangladesh and India. It was her second such event hosted at the same venue by the same media group within seven months. The differences between the January 23 and August 5 events, however, are remarkably stark, not only in their substance but also in their fallout.

Since prisons fall under the Ministry of Home Affairs, there was virtually no chance she would agree. She asked him why he wanted responsibility for prisons.
