Not so long ago, the biggest topic in defense tech was Silicon Valley’s reluctance to work with the Pentagon. The total reversal of that dynamic has been nothing short of mind blowing. forbes.com/sites/davidjea…

🚨 SCOOP 🚨 Apple ran a conference for cops, hosting at Cupertino. Called the Apple Global Police Summit, it welcomed cops from seven countries to talk about how they use Apple tech, from iPhones to CarPlay to Vision Pro. And yes, for surveillance apps. forbes.com/sites/thomasbr…

New from 404 Media: Google is serving AI images of mushrooms when users search for some species. Very risky, potentially fatal error for foragers who are trying to find what mushrooms are safe to eat. Could have "devastating consequences" one expert said 404media.co/google-serves-…
It has always bugged me that the debate on military AI portrays autonomy and accountability as binary conditions: is this weapon making a kill decision on its own, and can someone be held accountable if that decision turns out to be wrong? That's a bad way to frame the issue.
