Is AI now deciding who lives and dies in the latest global conflicts?
The tech world is buzzing with a heated debate today as experts reveal that AI is being used like never before to select targets in the escalating strikes between the U.S., Israel, and Iran. From sifting through massive amounts of intelligence to guiding precision strikes, “Military AI” has officially moved from sci-fi movies to the real-world battlefield. While it’s making operations faster, many are questioning if we’re ready for the ethical consequences of “robot-guided” warfare.
Closer to home, the tech industry is also seeing a massive push for education, with Newton School committing to training one lakh women in technology this year. At the same time, the physical side of tech hit a snag as a data center fire in the UAE disrupted AWS services across the Middle East. From the ethics of war to the future of the workforce, the digital landscape is shifting faster than ever today.
