Acclaimed Journalist Peter Byrne’s 10-Part Exposé Revealing the Militarization of AI
A new series, Military AI Watch, reveals the dangers of developing artificial intelligence (AI) for military use. Investigative journalist Peter Byrne shows how Silicon Valley, corporate media, the Department of Defense, the banking industry, and scientific institutions all intersect in the effort to militarize AI. The public has been largely kept in the dark about these efforts, which present potentially disastrous consequences for the world, while promising a financial bonanza to wealthy investors.
Corporate media has pumped out rosy but false narratives about the potential of AI, while critical information about its military uses rarely reaches the public—until now. Byrne has spent the last two years conducting in-depth research for this series and is at work on a database of selected AI weapons companies and their investors. This collaboration between Project Censored and Peter Byrne sheds unsparing light on an issue that has profound public impact and has been under-reported for too long.
Silicon Valley’s Plan to Conquer the World With AI Weapons
The first article in the series, titled “One Ring to Rule Them All,” explores how Silicon Valley tech companies are partnering with the Department of Defense to develop AI weapons systems.
For the rest of the year, we’ll be publishing monthly installments in the series. Make sure to bookmark this page to read the rest!
