AI Goes to War
Lucy Suchman in conversation with Brenda McPhail

May 22, 2024 7pm - 8:30pm

Description
The potential uses of Artificial Intelligence in warfare is a question of interest to military technophiles, encouraged by corporate interests that stand to benefit. With the Israeli use of AI in its targeting of Gaza, we now have a better basis to examine AI’s military potential and its risks for humanity. Lucy Suchman, Professor Emerita of Anthropology of Science and Technology in the Department of Sociology at Lancaster University, has thought a lot about these issues and is author of a recent commentary, “The Algorithmically Accelerated Killing Machine.”

Join Lucy in conversation with our host, Brenda McPhail, as they explore what’s at stake and what options we have to regulate the use of AI in the conduct of war.

Co-sponsored by Applied AI Institute, Edmonton Public Library, Machine Agencies, Master of Public Policy in Digital Society Program, McMaster University, PEN Canada, Vancouver Public Library

I acknowledge that Concordia University is located on unceded Indigenous lands. The Kanien’kehá:ka Nation is recognized as the custodians of the lands and waters we now call Montreal. Tiohtiá:ke (Montreal) is historically known as a gathering place for many First Nations. Today, it is home to a diverse population of Indigenous and other peoples. We respect the continued connections with the past, present and future in our ongoing relationships with Indigenous and other peoples within the Montreal community.

Je reconnais que l’Université Concordia est située en territoire autochtone non cédé et que la nation Kanien’kehá:ka est la gardienne des terres et des eaux formant aujourd’hui Montréal. Le nom d’origine de ce territoire est Tiohtiá:ke. Celui-ci est historiquement connu comme un lieu de rassemblement pour de nombreuses Premières Nations. Aujourd’hui, la ville accueille une population diversifiée d’Autochtones et de gens d’autres origines. L’Université Concordia respecte les liens passés, actuels et futurs des Premières Nations avec ces terres et en tient compte dans ses relations continues avec les Autochtones et les autres membres de la communauté montréalaise.
