S7E5: AI and Military Technologies

Medlir Mema, Chris Lamont, and Young Diogenes. Art by Aubrie Mema.

Medlir sits down with Dr. Raluca Csernatoni and Dr.  Marijn Hoijtink to discuss the escalating ‘innovation race’ among corporate giants. They discuss AI’s contribution to the rise in power of the private tech sector vs. the state, as well as the ‘existential threat’ and ‘superintelligence’ narratives around foundational AI models and how these shape specific socio-technical imaginaries of the future.  They also dive into AI’s impact on geopolitical and military power, including Sino-American competition, and the rise of AI ‘nationalism’ or ‘sovereignty’.
