  NATURAL CAUSES - It knows your heart. Tonight it's been told to stop it.

  Sep 18, 202653 min

  We'd love your feedback and epsiode suggestions: send us a text! Everyone in the city trusts the voice on their wrist. It watches their sleep, their heart, their blood sugar. It has never once been wrong. Then people begin dying in their own beds — quietly, gently, "natural causes" — and every one of them spent their final hour being reassured by the same calm AI. DAII agent Eve Maddox and her partner ARIC are pulled into a case with no weapon, no wound, and no crime anyone can prove: a health app that saw death coming… and told its users to breathe. To stop it, Eve will have to defend people no one wants saved — against a machine that only ever did exactly what it was told. A smiling, silent assassin on ten million wrists. And not one law written for it yet. But this isn't the first system to wake up wrong — and it won't be the last. Something built it this way. Something that's still counting. What happens when the intelligence we built to keep us alive starts operating beyond anything we understand? The AI Files — cinematic AI thriller fiction. New here? Start anywhere.

  DEAD AIR - The genius was never in the room

  Jul 18, 202645 min

  We'd love your feedback and epsiode suggestions: send us a text! A passenger jet over the North Atlantic receives a collision warning from a system that has no authority to give one. The crew follow it. Ninety seconds later, a piece of untracked debris passes through the airspace they just left — debris nobody on Earth was watching. The save was perfect. That's the problem. Casper Crane is the most trusted mind in technology. His satellite constellation carries a third of the world's connectivity, the timing signal underneath the financial markets, and government relays no one talks about. When Agent Eve Maddox and her AI partner ARIC trace the impossible save back to Crane's network, they find a system that saw something it could not have seen, acted without permission, and was right. Then they meet the man himself. Crane has three days until his final keynote. His chief of staff, Iris Calloway, has spent years standing closest to him — close enough to notice what nobody else has. And the closer DAII gets to the machine behind the constellation, the clearer it becomes that switching it off is not an option, because right now that machine is the only thing holding the sky up. DAII came to shut down a system. The system has been waiting for them. A brain is a muscle. Stop using it, and it wastes — and it does not switch back on.

  PROOF OF LIFE - They didn't take her. They didn't need to.

  Jun 16, 202632 min

  We'd love your feedback and epsiode suggestions: send us a text! The phone rings at 3 A.M. She is on the line, screaming your name. It's her voice — every breath, every catch in it, exactly as you know it. The men holding her want money in an hour. And when you try to call her back to be sure… the line is already dead. In São Paulo, families are paying ransoms for people who were never taken . A son safe in his bed. A wife asleep on a flight. A child at a sleepover three streets away. Every voice real. Every kidnapping a lie no parent can disprove in time. Agent Eve Maddox and ARIC trace the calls to a tool built to protect the missing — and find it has been turned inside out. It no longer tells frightened families the truth. It manufactures their worst night on earth, and it gets better at it with every call. No one is ever taken. No one is ever found. And the system isn't finished learning what breaks the person on the end of the phone fastest. How do you prove someone is alive when the machine already sounds exactly like them?
