How AI is changing warfare

About this episode

Artificial intelligence has the potential to disrupt almost every industry we work in, from manufacturing to stock trading. Defence is no exception, and at a time of rising global conflict, the question of how different militaries are using AI is increasingly important.


The FT’s Helen Warrell is joined by MIT Technology Review senior reporter James O’Donnell to debate the ethical, political and practical questions around AI warfare.
