In this episode of PST, we discuss Google’s development of artificial intelligence for the U.S. Dept. of Defense’s Project Maven; the (limited) effectiveness of pushback by the Google employees who were creating the AI; Google’s ‘core principles’ in relation to the drone project; and end up going down the rabbit hole of technology and its use to facilitate oppression.

Public Space Travel is a podcast dedicated to social/political critique, comedy, and education. Coming from an anti-hierarchy/oppression perspective, we aim for progressive/radical left solidarity with brothers/sisters/trans and non-binary folk of all stripes.
