Primers
The MADE Primers map digital-age atrocity risks for the people positioned to act on them. Each primer is a practitioner's guide to one digital system or dynamic shaping mass atrocity risk. It explains how the system works, how it converts into atrocity risk, what its warning signs look like, and recommendations for practitioners to act.
Topics are selected each year as the technology and the risks evolve. The 2026–27 topics will be announced in Fall of 2027.
