KPFA - Project Censored

The dark side of technology: surveillance and militarization.


Listen Later

Mickey Huff and Eleanor co-host this week’s Project Censored Show.

In the first half of the program, Esra’a Al Shafei tells Eleanor about the now-pervasive surveillance systems governments use to spy on their populations and target dissidents; she warns that, “We cannot resist what we do not know.”

Then Mickey Huff and Peter Byrne discuss the militarization of Artificial Intelligence (AI), including the the corporations profiting from Pentagon AI procurement, and the sinister individuals at the top of some of those firms.

Note: this is a rebroadcast of a program that originally aired in April 2025. Esra’a Al Shafei is a Bahraini civil rights activist and free-speech advocate, and the founder of the web site surveillancewatch.io, a site that monitors the global surveillance industry. Peter Byrne is a veteran investigative reporter who has written on topics ranging from breast cancer to wildlife conservation to corruption at the Postal Service. His personal web site is www.peterbyrne.info. Together with Project Censored, he’s launching a ten-part series on the militarization of AI: www.projectcensored.org/military-ai-watch
