Alix: I am Alix Dunn, and this is Computer Says Maybe. For the next few weeks, we are running a special series called Computer Says Kill. It's focused on tracing the people decisions and systems that I think have recklessly ushered AI into the business of war at the worst time imaginable. I have been wrapping my head around this, for quite some time, but the recent news, and let's be real—war crimes and corporate drama—had me craving a deep dive. So that's what we're gonna do. Over the next few weeks. We're gonna look at the issue of AI and war from all kinds of vantage points, and hope that after the next few weeks I'll have a better understanding of what's going on.

And so will you. So if you've been curious, frustrated, confused, maybe, enraged, maybe all of those things all at once. When thinking about what's going on in Iran all over the world, from ai, military chatbots to tech companies in bed with increasingly authoritarian governments, do check out the series because hopefully there's a little bit of relief in there once you learn more from experts all over the world that can help ground us in what's really happening.
