IN-DEPTH: How your favourite social media sites are turbocharging terrorism (w/Tech Against Terrorism) 15:28

منذ 3 years15:28

Social media has revolutionized terrorism. It has made recruitment easier, sped up the process of radicalisation and provided a safe haven for extremists to talk to each other. It's also increased the impact of acts of terror. With a click of a button, terrorists can livestream their acts to millions of people. So, what are tech companies doing to address the issue? Should governments step in? And is using AI to remove violent content a good idea, or could it pose hidden dangers? Rhiannon chats to two guests from Tech Against Terrorism, an UN-supported initiative that helps the global tech industry tackle terrorism while respecting human rights. Want to know more?

IN-DEPTH: How is artificial intelligence (AI) revolutionising modern warfare? W/Dr Peter Layton 14:24

منذ 3 years14:24

14:24

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been used to augment military capabilities since the missile defence systems of the 1980s, but today’s AI is becoming more sophisticated and pervasive in the development of semi-autonomous weapons. So what does this mean for the future of warfare and contemporary conflicts around the globe? This week, Rhiannon chats with Dr Peter Layton, a Visiting Fellow at the Griffith Asia Institute, Griffith University. He has extensive aviation and defence experience and, for his work at the Pentagon on force structure matters, he was awarded the United States Secretary of Defense’s Exceptional Public Service Medal. His research interests include grand strategy, national security policies particularly relating to middle powers, defence force structure concepts and the effects of emerging technology. They chat about: Why AI is becoming integral to warfare and military operations When AI should be used over human decision making the competition over the development of AI technology and how this will play a role in great power politics and the future of AI in warfare Want to know more?
