Gaza and Military AI [1]
['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']
Date: 2025-01-24
The tens of thousands of killings in Gaza were only made possible by the very newest military technology, especially targeting AI, combined with the most ancient of justifications — Sacred Violence. I have just finished a book-length analysis of this dangerous combination which will be published soon by Palgrave/Pivot. The Table of Contents is below. To make the book open access, available for all, I could really use donations to the book’s kickstarter site. It is called AI, Sacred Violence, and War — The Case of Gaza, and should be published by early February.
This book grew out of an article on AI in the Gaza attack for Teknokultura. The DOI, which often doesn’t work, is:
