Play (42:32 min) From the show Reading time 1 min Warfare's always evolving, sometimes slowly: Napoleon’s armies traveled only as those of Julius Caesar. Sometimes, faster than commanders can process: see the futile carnage of World War I. The pace of change on the battlefield today? Fast, very fast.
Introducing the first war brought to you by artificial intelligence. In the first ten days of a campaign that may very well have been prepared in a hurry, the US and Israel pinpointing and targeting as many Iranian sites in the first four days of the war as the anti-Isis coalition did in the first six months of its campaign in Iraq and Syria. How good are AI-informed kill orders? Are computers already making the call?
The New York Times reports that it’s probably humans who mistakenly decided to hit a girls school, killing 175, and even though outdated intelligence may be to blame, we’ll ask our panel what role AI may have played.
And what responsibility do tech companies bear when their tools lead to war crimes and mass surveillance? In the battle between Anthropic and the US government over the proper use of its software, is it the company or the US government that gets final say in the use of a technology whose power we don’t yet fully grasp?
