Wat moet er nog gebeuren voor maatregelen?! “Tegenover een groep journalisten legde defensieminister Israel Katz maandagavond uit dat het Israëlische leger de bouw van een enorm kamp voorbereidt, op de ruïnes van de platgebombardeerde stad Rafah. […] Wie eenmaal binnen is, mag er niet meer uit”

"It's dehumanising, it's unethical and the decision to take life should not be delegated to a machine. So we hope that states start to talk more about it...and advocate for a prohibition on autonomous weapons systems that target human beings."

Stuurt getuigenis van deze Nederlander een Zweedse miljardair de cel in?
Zorgt deze Nederlander ervoor dat een Zweedse multimiljardair in de gevangenis belandt? Dat staat op het spel als Egbert Wesselink volgende week getuigt in de rechtbank in Stockholm. Twintig jaar gele...
Een bijzonder verhaal. Al twintig jaar zet Egbert Wesselink zich vastberaden in voor gerechtigheid en mensenrechten bij PAX. Nu staat hij op een cruciaal moment: als getuige in een Zweedse rechtszaak die de Zweedse multimiljardair Ian Lundin achter de tralies kan krijgen. www.ad.nl/buitenland/s...

Opinion | What Did the World Learn From Syria? (Gift Article)
It is easy to look at a dark past and warn of a dark future.
What did we learn from Syria? That we misread it, and condemn it to misery, when we do not listen to the people at the heart of it.

Google drops pledge not to use AI for weapons, surveillance
Tech giant says in updated ethics policy that it will use AI in line with ‘international law and human rights’.
Promises by Big-tech don't seem to be worth anything.
"Google drops pledge not to use AI for weapons."
This is deeply concerning. In this increasingly polarised world, we need more rules and limits, not less. @BanKillerRobots
