Hitting the books: How China uses AI to influence its 1.4 billion citizens
… In T-Minus AI, the US Air Force’s first Chairperson for Artificial Intelligence, Michael Kanaan examines the emergence of AI as a tool for maintaining and expanding State power.

TWILIGHT OF THE HUMAN HACKER
… The hope for cyber warfare is that it won’t merely take control of an enemy’s planes and ships but will disable military operations by commandeering the computers that run the machinery, obviating the need for bloodshed. The concept has evolved since the infamous American and Israeli strike against Iran’s nuclear program with malware known as Stuxnet, which temporarily paralyzed uranium production starting in 2005.
Gosh! Who’da thunk it? (Will AI teach us how to do better?)
Artificial intelligence poses serious risks in the criminal justice system
… One of the areas where AI is currently being implemented is at the intersection of law, government, policing and social issues like race: the criminal justice system.
Over the last few months, the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement and a renewed scrutiny of race relations, policing and structural biases have brought the issues of the American criminal justice system to light. While it’s an institution and system that claims to have been founded on the principle of fairness and justice for all, it is riddled with biases that disproportionately affect Black and brown Americans. From deeply flawed societal constructs that perpetuate injustice to discriminatory police, attorneys and judges, bias is one of the biggest issues that afflict our criminal judicial system.
