RAW researcher Dr. Marijn Hoijtink reflects on the realities of algorithmic warfare in Gaza and Ukraine in ‘BNR Big Five of AI in Practice’. She underlines the following pressing issues:

2. How AI is changing the way war is thought, fought, and lived.

3. How responsibility for the civilian harm that is done is delegated to the technology.
