Machines lead the charge on today’s battlefields, but what does this mean for the people caught in the crossfire? 

Learn from journalist Antony Loewenstein, whose Walkley Award-winning investigation, The Palestine Laboratory: How Israel Exports the Technology of Occupation Around the World, uncovered the widespread commercialisation and global deployment of Israeli weaponry tested in Palestinian territories. Antony is joined by AI expert Toby Walsh, whose new book, Faking It: Artificial Intelligence in a Human World, explores how AI impersonates human intelligence.  

Listen to this vital conversation with host Michael Richardson about the intersection of technology, conflict, occupation and surveillance.
