Podcast: Reflecting on the Role of AI in Warfare
RAW’s Dr. Marijn Hoijtink highlights the role of AI in warfare in a recent episode of the BNR Digitaal podcast.
About the Programme
The Intimacies of Remote Warfare is an evidence-based research programme that aims to inform academic, public and policy debates on the intimate realities of remote wars waged by advanced militaries.
The programme investigates the politics, operations, technologies, and political economy of remote warfare, as well as its impact on civilian harm and blowback. IRW engages with key stakeholders to participate in expert round tables, co-create knowledge, and formulate policy recommendations. It shares its findings through academic journals and books, op-eds, podcasts, documentaries, public events, a summer school, and (social) media outlets.
