High Tech Weapons and Artificial Intelligence

USA’s investment in high-tech weapons and military artificial intelligence is rapidly accelerating, as Microsoft and Amazon enter the top ranks of corrupt military profiteers. The people are completely left out of the conversation as our governments devote billions of dollars to the grotesque science of mass murder, and our familiar tech giants betray our trust. Jan Weinberg of Show Up America joins Marc Eliot Stein to talk about Project JEDI, Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2), killer robots, “Black Mirror”, facial recognition, surveillance clouds, autonomous nuclear weapons triggers, the Senate Armed Services committee and the need for greater investigative journalism on this topic.
