Project Member Realities of Algorithmic Warfare and Associate Professor in International Relations
Dr. Marijn Hoijtink is Research Professor (Associate Professor) of International Relations at the University of Antwerp. Her research focuses on military applications of artificial intelligence (AI), with a particular interest in how these technologies shape how warfare is thought, fought, and lived. She leads the PLATFORM WARS project, funded by the Flemish Research Foundation (FWO), through which she and her team study the role of the high-technology industry in modern warfare.
In an op-ed in the Flemish daily newspaper De Standaard, Dr. Marijn Hoijtink and Robin Vanderborght argue that the Israel's narrative of a precise and moral war is an illusion.
IRW's Dr. Gould et al. analysed how the Dutch Army experimented in algorithmic innovation by unlawfully tracking its citizen’s sentiment and behaviour.
In her latest article ‘”Prototype warfare”: Innovation, optimisation, and the experimental way of warfare” dr. Marijn Hoijtink sets out to map the contours of a new regime of warfare.
Guest authors dr. Marijn Hoijtink and Marlene Tröstl reflect on the sharp contrast between human empathy for military robots and the dehumanization of local publics that underpins remote warfare.
