From Gaza to Ukraine: AI at War

Description

From Gaza to Ukraine: AI at War explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping modern warfare. From targeting systems and decision-making support to the acceleration of military operations, AI is no longer a future concept, it is already embedded in today’s conflicts. In conversation with Mahmoud Javadi, Doctoral researcher at the VUB and Sofia Romansky, Project Coordinator for the Global Commission on Responsible AI in the Military Domain, this episode examines the operational uses and normalization of military AI, the challenges of accountability, and the emerging efforts to govern its use. As technology outpaces regulation, one question remains: will global actors shape AI responsibly, or only react once it’s too late?" Podcast episode produced as part of the course “AI and Power: Ethics, Diplomacy, and Democracy”, taught by Professor Jérôme Duberry in 2025, by Gaia Facchini, Wassim Atrissi, and Ghita El Fataoui. Interviewees: Sofia Romansky, Mahmoud Javadi
