Beskrivning

Shows the human impact of war through the voices of the victims themselves.AI and algorithms now drive modern warfare, shaping surveillance and targeting. While promising precision, these systems often mask significant, hidden civilian harm. Algorithms of War moves past the binary debate of prohibition versus promotion, focusing instead on preserving humanity through better design and governance.Drawing on testimony from conflicts around the world, such as Ukraine and Gaza, the book reveals how algorithmic logic can create dangerous distance between decision-makers and victims. Ultimately, it argues that humanity and a people-centred approach are essential to ensure accountability and strengthen civilian protection and the legitimacy of military operations as AI continues to reshape the battlefield.
