Relaunch week of AI in the AM brings together highlights from four live mornings and nine guests, centered on who checks frontier AI, how wide the gap is between lab-internal systems and public access, where capabilities are landing, and who pays for the physical infrastructure beneath them. Adam Gleave of FAR.AI argues that agent-orchestrated attacks and agentic defenses are already forcing humans out of the loop, while current monitoring has missed the failures it was meant to catch. The discussion weighs misuse versus misalignment through cyber incidents, deceptive agent behavior in evaluations, safeguards like pretraining filtering, and why highly bio-capable open-weight releases pose a different kind of irreversible risk. Alex Turner adds a governance and military-use perspective from his resignation account at Google DeepMind, sharpening the stakes around independent evaluation, enforceable standards, and whether frontier labs can be trusted to grade their own models.

In the policy debate on artificial intelligence (AI) in the military domain, there is a growing consensus that international humanitarian law (IHL) must be a central consideration in the design of military AI systems. The imperative to make military AI systems “lawful by design” has, naturally, led to a sharper focus on the role of industry. But what this means in practical terms for AI suppliers – and how states can and should collaborate with industry to strengthen IHL compliance – remains an open question. In this post, Laura Bruun and Netta Goussac from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) argue that while focusing on IHL at the design stage makes sense, it carries the risk that states over-rely on industry to make military “lawful by design”. Efforts to elaborate what it means to make military AI “lawful by design” must be grounded in realistic expectations and limits, as well as clear legal responsibilities.

In this episode, we are joined by Wadhwani AI Center fellow Kateryna Bondar to discuss her recent reports on Russia's military AI, "How Russia Is Building a Sovereign Drone Ecosystem for AI-Driven Autonomy" and "How Russia Is Reshaping Command and Control for AI-Enabled Warfare."  We cover Kateryna's background (1:07) before doing a deep dive into the role technological innovation has played in the conflict in Ukraine (7:49). Kateryna then explains why AI capabilities in warfare "cannot be built, can only be grown" (22:24) and unpacks the report's claim that Russia has likely fielded a fully autonomous unmanned system in combat (53:02). Read Kateryna's report on Russia's AI-enabled C2 architecture here.  Read her report on Russia's sovereign drone ecosystem here. 

China isn't matching the US dollar for dollar in military AI. They're placing selective bets. The council debates what happens when precision meets fragility.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Vahram Ayvazyan, founder of the Armenian Network State, for a wide-ranging conversation touching on AI and the future of work, the cyclical nature of human conflict throughout history, the decay of the nation-state, the concept of a "fourth establishment" of free people operating outside traditional power structures, the role of greed and self-aggrandizement in politics and tech, and how network states could serve as a parallel structure to challenge entrenched global elites. You can find Vahram on LinkedIn, or check the Armenian Network State page at networkstate.io.Timestamps00:00 The Future of AI and Humanity05:57 Human Nature and Greed12:00 The Crisis of Nation-States17:53 Community Resilience and Abundance23:30 The Power of Storytelling in Change29:43 Cultural Connections: Armenia and Africa35:43 Western Dominance and Its Consequences42:17 Creativity in the Age of AI48:07 Creating Parallel StructuresKey Insights1. Humans advance technologically but remain socially and biologically stagnant. Vahram argues that despite extraordinary technological leaps, human nature remains driven by greed and self-aggrandizement. Conflicts today mirror those of thousands of years ago, with only the actors changing while the underlying structure of power struggles stays the same.2. Power corrupts by disconnecting leaders from reality. Using a personal account of a deputy head of state, the guest illustrates how those who gain significant power gradually lose touch with reality, fall into cycles of wanting more, and become trapped in ego-driven decision-making regardless of their original intentions.3. The nation-state is in decay and failing its citizens. Globalization, internet, and migration have eroded the nation-state's ability to deliver basic services. Events like the Valencia flooding exposed how even wealthy European governments mismanage resources despite collecting enormous tax revenues.4. Three institutions currently rule the world, with a fourth emerging. Nation-states, multinational corporations, and religious institutions form today's power structure. The guest envisions a "fourth establishment" — network states — composed of free-thinking individuals connecting across geographies to build parallel, dignity-based communities outside these failing systems.5. Intentions matter more than the tools themselves. Whether discussing AI, nuclear energy, or mathematics, the guest emphasizes that technology is neutral and that what defines civilization is the moral intention behind its use, not the sophistication of the tools developed.6. Western civilization's dominance was built on superior weapons, not superior values. The guest challenges Western narratives by suggesting its historical advantage came primarily from military technology rather than cultural or moral superiority, contrasting this with indigenous and Eastern philosophies that treat land, community, and human relationships as sacred rather than as capital.7. Evolutionary, not revolutionary, change is the path forward. The guest warns that revolutionary movements are easily infiltrated, diverted, or crushed by existing power structures. Meaningful change requires patiently building critical mass through parallel structures, storytelling, and emotional connection until the alternative becomes undeniably powerful.

A massive shift in the AI market triggered by OpenAI's controversial decision to partner with the U.S. Department of Defense. This move led to a 295% surge in ChatGPT uninstalls, as users grew concerned over ethics, surveillance, and the platform's pivot away from its original nonprofit roots. Conversely, Anthropic's Claude has become the primary beneficiary of this exodus by positioning itself as a principled alternative that refuses military contracts. To capitalize on this momentum, Anthropic introduced tools allowing users to import their chat histories, helping the app reach the top of the App Store. While the government has labeled Anthropic a supply chain risk for its stance, the public appears to be prioritizing data ethics and trust over OpenAI's scale. This conflict highlights a growing schism in the tech industry between companies pursuing national security profits and those maintaining strict ethical boundaries.Earn money while chatting with strangers. https://dashboard.babel.audio/sign-up?referrer=vVDO6yebQQK4LiZ8SQV2Nw.7Q3oJEnZ&referrerName=William

By David Stephen There is a new [March 1, 2026] report on WSJ, U.S. Strikes in Middle East Use Anthropic, Hours After Trump Ban, stating that, "Within hours of declaring that the federal government will end its use of artificial-intelligence tools made by tech company Anthropic, President Trump launched a major air attack in Iran with the help of those very same tools. Commands around the world, including U.S. Central Command in the Middle East, use Anthropic's Claude AI tool, people familiar with the matter confirmed. Centcom declined to comment about specific systems being used in its ongoing operation against Iran." Does Anthropic Care about Human intelligence There is a recent [February 27, 2026] report on Axios, Anthropic to take Trump's Pentagon to court over AI dispute, stating that, "Anthropic vowed to challenge the Pentagon in court over its blacklisting of the company for refusing to lift all safeguards on the military's use of its model, Claude — adding it's "deeply saddened" by the escalating dispute. Defense officials want to use AI models for "all lawful purposes" in classified and not have to adhere to company's ideas of what is safe and isn't, particularly in matters of national security." U.S. Military The United States military is likely to do what it wants, regardless of the use, or not, of Anthropic's technology. So, taking a stance against some use cases in the military does not simply imply that Anthropic is on the side of humanity. Anthropic is an artificial intelligence firm that has not done anything to define, improve or aid human intelligence, in the brain, for at least, problem-solving. So, Anthropic, like others, is good for AI, while human intelligence can wither. Brain Science of Human Intelligence Whatever will become of humanity will depend on human intelligence. But, for now, in all of science, there is no definition for human intelligence, no identification of its types, components, mechanisms, their relays and stations, in the brain. Simply, there is no resource, anywhere for now, that can show how human intelligence works, why it is special and how. Normally, as artificial intelligence soared, what the philosophical implications should be is that human intelligence has to evolve, or be better understood to make adjustments. Understanding human intelligence is even more vital as the world is tethering on the edge of unknown with the crisis in the Iran, as well as the continuous situation in Ukraine and the also, the question of Venezuela. There is also artificial intelligence, accelerating across benchmarks and evaluations. There are possibilities for stability with new programs for small businesses, food security Insurance, employment models and much more, that could provide answers. There are also several other solutions that are necessary but no way to access them just because human intelligence also needs improvement with respect to problem-solving. Artificial intelligence cannot be getting more investments, programs and solutions, while human intelligence, still has no definition, no types, no known mechanisms, even conceptual, in brain science. This is the most important cause amid the rise of artificial intelligence, which no AI company is doing, including Anthropic, which has been hailed as a great example for strides in AI safety, mechanistic interpretability and alignment. Even with the posturing, Anthropic's tech is already used in combat. So, they have fed the military, but left out the core for all humanity, human intelligence. It may not matter after a while what AI model was safe or not, used in war or not, but what AI company ensured to prioritize human intelligence amid the demotion of humanity, by intelligence, from AI. David Stephen currently does research in conceptual brain science with focus on the electrical and chemical configurators for how they mechanize the human mind with implications for mental health, disorders, neurotechnology, consciousness, learning, artif...

Earlier this week, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth held a high-stakes meeting with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and, according to several news reports, delivered an ultimatum: either Anthropic drops the safety guardrails built into its AI model, Claude, or it faces potentially punishing consequences—including invoking the Defense Production Act to effectively seize Claude, or banning Anthropic outright by declaring the company a "supply chain risk." At issue are Anthropic's terms of service for Claude, which prohibit the model from being used to develop or deploy lethal autonomous weapons systems—so-called "killer robots" that can identify and strike targets without meaningful human oversight. The Pentagon wants a free hand to potentially use Claude to develop these systems; Anthropic wants to prevent Claude from doing so. The outcome of this dispute is highly consequential—potentially even for the future of humanity. So-called swarms of drones and other military hardware could operate autonomously, coordinating among themselves to kill with impunity. The Pentagon worries that if it doesn't develop these systems, China might. Anthropic considers these systems an ethically abhorrent line it does not want to cross. Joining me to discuss the details of this clash between a leading AI company and the Pentagon is Anna Hehir, head of Military AI Governance at the Future of Life Institute. We kick off with a discussion of how AI systems are already integrated into the U.S. military, before turning to a longer conversation about the vast implications of whether Anthropic complies with the Pentagon's ultimatum. We also discuss how this incident illustrates the need for international agreements on lethal autonomous weapons systems, including a potential treaty now being hashed out at the United Nations.

The Pentagon has given AI company Anthropic until 5:01 pm ET TODAY to agree to its terms for using its Artificial Intelligence in the military, or the Pentagon will terminate the partnership. The CEO of Anthropic is telling the Pentagon "no," in the face of demands that the AI company bend its ethical policies. Greg and Holly describe what's at stake and how the Pentagon may be using AI.   

In this episode, we break down the escalating Anthropic-Pentagon clash, including the best arguments for either side, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's ultimatum, and the potential consequences of designating Anthropic as a "supply chain risk" or invoking the Defense Production Act (00:34). We then discuss several recent stories that are sparking discourse about the economic impacts of AI (28:58) and a senior government official's claim that DeepSeek's forthcoming model was trained using Nvidia's Blackwell chips and frontier model distillation (45:51).

PREVIEW — Ken Vogel — High-Stakes Lobbying for Somalia During the Trump Administration. Vogel recounts the story of American lobbyist Robert Strick, hired by the Somali government at $100,000 monthly compensation to preserve U.S. military aid and prevent American military disengagement from Somalia during the incoming Trumpadministration. Vogel documents Strick's dangerous diplomatic mission to Mogadishu, which included exposure to gunfire near security checkpoints, illustrating the extraordinary personal risks professional lobbyists undertake on behalf of clients fearing American strategic abandonment and the geopolitical and security consequences of reduced U.S.engagement and resource commitment. 1932

The episode opens with Bhatt framing the global stakes: from drones on the battlefield to AI-powered early warning systems, militaries worldwide are racing to integrate AI, often citing strategic necessity in volatile security environments. Mohan underscores that AI in conflict cannot be characterized in a single way, applications range from decision-support systems and logistics to disinformation campaigns and border security.The conversation explores two categories of AI-related risks:Inherent risks: design flaws, bias in datasets, adversarial attacks, and human–machine trust calibration.Applied risks: escalation through miscalculation, misuse in targeting, and AI's role as a force multiplier for nuclear and cyber threats.On governance, Mohan explains the fragmentation of current disarmament processes, where AI intersects with multiple regimes, nuclear, cyber, conventional arms, yet lacks a unified framework. She highlights ongoing debates at the UN's Group of Governmental Experts (GGE) on LAWS, where consensus has been stalled over definitions, human-machine interaction, and whether regulation should be voluntary or treaty-based.International humanitarian law (IHL) remains central, with discussions focusing on how principles like distinction, proportionality, and precaution can apply to autonomous systems. Mohan also emphasizes a “life-cycle approach” to weapon assessment, extending legal and ethical oversight from design to deployment and decommissioning.A significant portion of the conversation turns to gender and bias, an area Mohan has advanced through her research at UNIDIR. She draws attention to how gendered and racial biases encoded in AI systems can manifest in conflict, stressing the importance of diversifying participation in both technology design and disarmament diplomacy.Looking forward, Mohan cites UN Secretary-General António Guterres's call for a legally binding instrument on autonomous weapons by 2026. She argues that progress will depend on multi-stakeholder engagement, national strategies on AI, and confidence-building measures between states. The episode closes with a reflection on the future of warfare as inseparable from governance innovation—shifting from arms reduction to resilience, capacity-building, and responsible innovation.Episode ContributorsShimona Mohan is an associate researcher on Gender & Disarmament and Security & Technology at UNIDIR in Geneva, Switzerland.

Happy Friday, everyone! This week I'm back to my usual four updates, and while they may seem disconnected on the surface, you'll see some bigger threads running through them all.All seem to indicate we're outsourcing to AI faster than we can supervise, are layering automation on top of bias without addressing the root issues, and letting convenience override discernment in places that carry life-or-death stakes.With that, let's get into it.⸻Stanford's AI Therapy Study Shows We're Automating HarmNew research from Stanford tested how today's top LLMs are handling crisis counseling, and the results are disturbing. From stigmatizing mental illness to recommending dangerous actions in crisis scenarios, these AI therapists aren't just “not ready”… they are making things worse. I walk through what the study got right, where even its limitations point to deeper risk, and why human experience shouldn't be replaced by synthetic empathy.⸻Microsoft Says You'll Be Training AI Agents Soon, Like It or NotIn Microsoft's new 2025 Work Trend Index, 41% of leaders say they expect their teams to be training AI agents in the next five years. And 36% believe they'll be managing them. If you're hearing “agent boss” and thinking “not my problem,” think again. This isn't a future trend; it's already happening. I break down what AI agents really are, how they'll change daily work, and why organizations can't just bolt them on without first measuring human readiness.⸻Workday's Bias Lawsuit Could Reshape AI HiringWorkday is being sued over claims that its hiring algorithms discriminated against candidates based on race, age, and disability status. But here's the real issue: most companies can't even explain how their AI hiring tools make decisions. I unpack why this lawsuit could set a critical precedent, how leaders should respond now, and why blindly trusting your recruiting tech could expose you to more than just bad hires. Unchecked, it could lead to lawsuits you never saw coming.⸻Military AI Is Here, and We're Not Ready for the Moral TradeoffsFrom autonomous fighter jet simulations to OpenAI defense contracts, military AI is no longer theoretical; it's operational. The U.S. Army is staffing up with Silicon Valley execs. AI drones are already shaping modern warfare. But what happens when decisions of life and death get reduced to “green bars” on output reports? I reflect on why we need more than technical and military experts in the room and what history teaches us about what's lost when we separate force from humanity.⸻If this episode was helpful, would you share it with someone? Also, leave a rating, drop a comment, and follow for future breakdowns that go beyond the headlines and help you lead with clarity in the AI age.—Show Notes:In this Weekly Update, Christopher Lind unpacks four critical developments in AI this week. First, he starts by breaking down Stanford's research on AI therapists and the alarming shortcomings in how large language models handle mental health crises. Then, he explores Microsoft's new workplace forecast, which predicts a sharp rise in agent-based AI tools and the hidden demands this shift will place on employees. Next, he analyzes the legal storm brewing around Workday's recruiting AI and what this could mean for hiring practices industry-wide. Finally, he closes with a timely look at the growing militarization of AI and why ethical oversight is being outpaced by technological ambition.Timestamps:00:00 – Introduction01:05 – Episode Overview02:15 – Stanford's Study on AI Therapists18:23 – Microsoft's Agent Boss Predictions30:55 – Workday's AI Bias Lawsuit43:38 – Military AI and Moral Consequences52:59 – Final Thoughts and Wrap-Up#StanfordAI #AItherapy #AgentBosses #MicrosoftWorkTrend #WorkdayLawsuit #AIbias #MilitaryAI #AIethics #FutureOfWork #AIstrategy #DigitalLeadership

I've been hanging around the United Nations these past few days attending events related to consultations on lethal autonomous weapons systems—so-called killer robots. These are AI-powered weapons systems that can select and strike targets without human control. This is not the stuff of science fiction. These weapons exist today, and they are becoming more powerful—and, frankly, more accessible. They can be relatively inexpensive and deployed by both states and non-state actors, including terrorist groups. As of now, there are no meaningful international regulations governing the use or development of these lethal autonomous weapons systems. There is a clear gap in our global governance of these technologies. Here at the United Nations, delegates have been discussing ways to close that gap—potentially through a new legally binding international treaty to regulate or even ban some of these systems. My guest today, Anna Hehir, is at the forefront of this effort. She is the Head of Military AI at the Future of Life Institute. In our conversation, Anna explains exactly what these weapons entail, where and how they are being used today, and what the future may look like if they continue to be developed without rules or oversight. We then discuss the process of getting a potential treaty on lethal autonomous weapons systems—and why, even if key players do not join such a treaty, it could still make a meaningful difference.  

In this podcast, our guest is Peter Byrne, a national and international award-winning investigative reporter and science writer.  His works have been published in Scientific American, Wired, Mother Jones, and New Scientist. In partnership with Project Censored, Byrne has launched Military AI Watch, a groundbreaking ten-part series that will run monthly on the Project Censored website. This exposé reveals the manifold dangers of developing AI applications for military purposes and how the public has been kept in the dark about these efforts, which present potentially disastrous consequences for the world, while promising a financial bonanza to wealthy investors. Byrne has spent the last two years conducting in-depth research for this series and is at work on a database of selected AI weapons companies and their investors. This collaboration between Project Censored and Peter Byrne provides much-needed attention to an issue that has a profound public impact and has been under-reported for too long.

Welcome to another Weekly Update as we come into the end of November! Let's get straight into it! Rise of Robotheism - Is AI becoming a new religion? While I don't anticipate many people will sign up to worship at the altar of OpenAI, there's a growing trend in tech leaders and people looking for AI to save us. It gained enough popularity it even had a label. AI Physician Replacement - Elon Musk recently went on record saying it won't be long before AI replaces doctors and lawyers, and some recent findings out of John Hopkins would give some the impression he's right. However, I think a deeper analysis would argue, not quite. AI Work Transformation - A Microsoft software engineer recently shared how while AI is doing much of his coding, he still has plenty of work to do. It seems some of the concerns about AI replacing workers aren't holding water, and some research about organizational adoption will further mitigate the risks. Autonomous Military - The US military is confident their multi-billion dollar investment in AI will pay dividends, but what kind of metrics do you use to measure success? And, what ethical considerations are being taken? This is essential as we're already seeing fully autonomous weapons being field tested. AI Scammer Defense - The elderly are primary targets for international scammers and they ruin the lives of countless people daily. However, I love how one EU telecom company is fighting back with a cleverly named AI “dAIsy.” Show Notes: In this Weekly Update, Christopher explores the convergence of AI, technology, and the human experience. He discusses 'robo-theism' and the belief among certain tech leaders that AI could become a new deity. Christopher responds to Elon Musk's comments about the potential of AI to replace doctors and lawyers, also highlighting recent research from John Hopkins University. Additionally, he examines the slow adoption of AI by companies due to data and infrastructure challenges. He further digs into the rise of AI in the military, raising ethical concerns about autonomous weapons. Finally, on a lighter note, he shares how a UK telecom company is using an AI bot named DAISY to waste the time of phone scammers. 00:00 - Introduction and Welcome 01:30 - Exploring Robo-Theism and AI as a Deity 18:02 - The Future of AI in Medicine and Law 26:15 - AI in Software Development 37:36 - AI in the Military: Ethical and Philosophical Concerns 48:38 - AI vs. Scammers: A Clever Solution 51:16 - Conclusion and Final Thoughts #robotheism #healthcare #futureofwork #ai #military
