Sarah articulates everything extremely well, she is very well spoken and provides incredible analysis with sourced statistics to back it up.

Really got me fired up.

Thank you Scott for having me; I will post on my socials shortly!
Great questions

NEW REPORT: Artificial Power, our 2025 Landscape Report, is out.

Today’s AI isn’t just being used by us, it’s being used on us. We urgently need to reclaim public power over the future trajectory of AI. Another path is possible.

Generative AI is learning to spy for the US military In a test run, a unit of Marines in the Pacific used generative AI not just to collect intelligence but to interpret it. Routine intel work is only the start.

“Double-checking” AI doesn’t cut it, says @heidykhlaaf.bsky.social in @technologyreview.com. When an AI model draws conclusions from opaque, massive data sets, human oversight becomes a myth; and for military intel, a dangerous myth.

The Pentagon is deploying AI tools for military surveillance & intelligence. When a model relies on thousands of data points to draw conclusions, ‘it wouldn’t be possible for a human to sift through that amount of info to determine if the output was erroneous’ says @heidykhlaaf.bsky.social.
