In this probing discussion with Senior Fellow Arthur Holland Michel, Brianna Rosen, senior fellow at "Just Security" and the University of Oxford, discusses what we know (and what we don't) about Israel's use of AI in the war in Gaza and explains the fraught relationship between algorithmic decisions, transparency, and accountability. She also looks back at the last two decades of the U.S. drone strike program for clues about what the future of AI warfare might mean for justice and human rights.

As we begin to see the effects of AI on the American political process and society, where will this trajectory lead? In their new novel 2054, the follow-up to 2034, authors Elliot Ackerman and Admiral James Stavridis imagine a moment when a radical leap forward in technology combines with America’s violent partisan divide to create an existential threat to the country, and the world. How will the world’s great powers react in a new era of scientific discovery?

In this virtual book talk three years after their discussion on 2034, Ackerman, Stavridis, and Doorstep co-hosts Nikolas Gvosdev and Tatiana Serafin discuss AI, biotech, geopolitics, and a dark yet possible future that we must do all we can to avoid.

Today, communities are experiencing the effects of the widespread adoption by law enforcement of data fusion technology: automated software for correlating and fusing surveillance data from a growing web of sources. Though this technology has received scant attention compared to other novel forms of surveillance, its civil liberties implications are grave.

This panel was moderated by Carnegie Council Senior Fellow Arthur Holland Michel and featured an exclusive unveiling of a new educational tool to map the effects of data fusion.

This tool can be accessed at https://accelerator.carnegiecouncil.org/data-fusion/
