Join our hosts for Tuesday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘AI Warfare’ and ‘Human Rights’

AI Warfare

Artificial Intelligence is transforming modern warfare, from autonomous drones to AI-guided bombing systems capable of selecting and striking targets with minimal human input. As machines take on greater control in battlefield decisions, urgent ethical concerns arise over accountability, civilian harm, and the morality of delegating life and-death choices to algorithms. Join us as we examine the implications of AI-driven warfare and what this shift means for the future of global conflict.

Human Rights

In an era marked by war, persecution, and denial, the fight for truth remains essential to protecting human rights and restoring dignity to victims. From Bosnia to the Rohingya crisis and ongoing global conflicts, accountability and justice are vital for lasting peace.

Who was the Promised Messiah foretold in Islamic prophecy, and why did his coming matter?
