Gordon Chang challenges China's manufacturing numbers as "science fiction" and the promotion of robotics to hide massive youth unemployment.

Hätte der Terminator juristisch verhindert werden können? Mit dieser Frage steigen wir in ein Thema ein, das längst keine Science-Fiction mehr ist. Denn wenn Krisen und Kriege eines beschleunigen, dann die Entwicklung neuer Kriegstechnologien, und dazu gehört heute auch Künstliche Intelligenz. KI-Waffen und autonome Waffensysteme sind dabei nur die vorläufig letzte Stufe einer langen Linie. Vom Mittelalter über die Schusswaffe bis zum Kampfflugzeug hat sich die Distanz zwischen Mensch und Schlachtfeld immer weiter vergrößert. Die Entscheidung über Leben und Tod an eine Maschine zu delegieren, ist insofern die konsequente, aber rechtlich wie ethisch hochbrisante Fortsetzung dieser Entwicklung. Gemeinsam mit unserem Gast Nils Biedermann klären wir, was autonome Waffensysteme überhaupt ausmacht, ob es sie bereits gibt und wo das Völkerrecht beim Einsatz von KI im Krieg Grenzen zieht. Wir sprechen über die menschliche Kontrolle (Human in, on und out of the loop), über die Verantwortung für maschinell begangene Verbrechen, über die Anwendbarkeit des AI Act und darüber, ob der Einsatz von KI-Waffen mit der Menschenwürde vereinbar ist. Wir bedanken uns herzlichst für den Besuch und den spannnenden, wenn auch beängstigenden Blick in die Entwicklung von KI-Waffen. Euch wünschen wir viel Spaß beim Hören und freuen uns auf Eure Kommentare! Nils Biedermann, LL.M., LL.M. (LinkedIn), trägt zwei Masterabschlüsse, einen im Medienrecht und in der Medienwirtschaft, den anderen in der Rechtsinformatik. Beruflich befasst er sich mit Datenschutz, KI-Compliance, Cybersecurity, Digital Economy und Telekommunikation. Sein Forschungsinteresse gilt der rechtlichen Einordnung von KI im militärischen Kontext. Er ist Autor des Beitrags „KI-gestützte autonome Waffensysteme, Überblick und rechtliche Einordnung“ in der ersten Ausgabe der Zeitschrift Rüstung, Sicherheit & Recht (RüSiR).

This week, we herald the return of Steven Spielberg and one more foray into the alien sci-fi genre with Disclosure Day. Those expecting blockbuster thrills might be a little thrown to instead receive a talky, late-style plea for empathy and the transformative power of truth. The question, however, is if it's too late. We discuss Spielberg, his recent oeuvre, and the million things he has on his mind with Disclosure Day.

(01:20) Vijfenzeventig jaar geleden kwamen zo'n 13.000 Molukkers naar Nederland. Ze dachten een paar maanden te blijven, maar ze bleven voor altijd en vormden een hechte gemeenschap. Er wordt gespeculeerd dat dat premier Jetten deze zondag de langverwachte excuses namens de Nederlandse staat aan gaat bieden. Maar waar wat betekent een sorry na 75 jaar voor de Molukse gemeenschap? We praten er over met Wim Manuhutu, historicus, en Eva Metselaar, schrijfster.  (15:53) China waarschuwde zijn vissers deze maand voor schildpadden en vissen met sensoren. Want die zouden, onder het mom van klimaatonderzoek, weleens aan spionage kunnen doen. Sciencefiction? Eerder een echo van een lange geschiedenis; van de postduif met camera tot de CIA-kat vol microfoons. En daar hebben we het over met historicus Gerbrand Kip, co-auteur van Hellehonden en ander dierenleed 1914 - 1945, een ode aan het dier in oorlogstijd. (28:12) Begin deze week heeft de eerste kamer ingestemd met een verbod op homogenezing. Inmiddels is de consensus dat seksualiteit geen keuze of kwaal is, maar in de vroege jaren vijftig heerste het idee dat deze ‘zonde' verholpen kon worden. David Bos is godsdiensthistoricus en socioloog en heeft onderzoek gedaan naar de geschiedenis van de ex-homo in Nederland en is te gast om te vertellen hoe deze therapieën in ons land opkwamen en ook weer naar de achtergrond verdwenen.  (40:26) Deze week is recensent Fresco Sam-Sin te gast. Hij bespreekt twee boeken en een website: De eik en de lariks - Sophie Pinkham (vert. Anneke Bok) Historical Photographs of China - website van University of Bristol Arm Vlaanderen, een wereldgeschiedenis - Maarten van Gindernachter   (52:08) Deze zondag gaan de European Transplangames van start. Duizenden atleten tussen de 8 en 80 jaar oud komen vanuit heel Europa naar Arnhem toe omdat ze één ding gemeen hebben; ze hebben allemaal een orgaan of stamceltransplantatie ondergaan.   Waar transplantaties in de jaren 60 nog sciencefiction leken, zijn het nu gebruikelijke medische behandelingen. Journalist en historicus Jeroen van der Kris is blij dat dit zo snel is gegaan. Want toen hij een nieuwe lever nodig had, was de medische wereld daar ook klaar voor.    (01:04:43) OVT Doc: Ed van der Elsken - De straatfotografie voorbij Ed van der Elsken kennen we vooral van zijn iconische straatfotografie, maar hij deed veel meer dan dat. Dat is te zien in de tentoonstelling ‘Ed van der Elsken. Up Close' die deze week opende in het Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.  Programmamaker Rinke Vreeke dook met conservator fotografie van het Rijksmuseum, Hinde Haest, in het persoonlijke werkarchief van Van der Elsken. Aan de hand van niet eerder aan het publiek getoonde notities, schetsen, proefversies van fotoboeken en een onverfilmd script, maakte ze een portret over hem. Over hoe Van der Elsken te werk ging, hoe hij experimenteerde, maar ook over zijn vele reizen en de rol van zijn (ex-)partners in zijn carrière. Een portret over de mens die schuilgaat achter het beeld van de vrijgevochten fotograaf.    Meer info: https://www.vpro.nl/ovt/artikelen/ovt-21-juni-2026

Many people don't lose their love for reading and deep thinking; they just get buried under responsibilities, distractions, and endless screens until their imagination quietly slips into the background. Today's guest, Barry J. “BJ” Spaulding, a former federal law enforcement officer and military veteran turned science fiction author, shows how stories can pull us back into wonder, responsibility, and faith. After 32 years of service, a divorce, retirement, and the pandemic, Barry finally returned to his teenage dream of writing, and the result is a growing catalog of books, including Dark Star, The Fight for Survival, and Who's to Blame. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Barry shares how his background in the Army, law enforcement, and Dungeons & Dragons helped him build believable universes, flawed heroes, and grounded military sci‑fi. He explains why Dark Star took 15 years to fully come together, how he weaves real-world tactics, emotional trauma, and survival decisions into epic space battles, and why he refuses to write “perfect” heroes. His stories blend science fact, combat experience, and speculative fiction in a way that still feels human and uncomfortably honest about what people do when the stakes are life and death. Barry also dives into the deeply personal inspiration behind Who's to Blame, a story about a man named George who spends his life blaming God for every tragedy, until God finally brings him to heaven for a direct, no-excuses conversation. Through that lens, Barry explores blame, loss, faith, and personal responsibility, asking hard questions like: What part did I play in what happened? and Do we create our own heaven and hell? If you've ever wondered how modern faith, free will, and suffering could be explored through a compelling story instead of a dry debate, this episode lays out a powerful blueprint. https://youtu.be/bYx9q-h23Yc?si=WRRRmtnLCYW5z5Ck Along the way, Barry and Robert talk about why reading and writing are more important than ever in a tech-saturated world, how books slow your mind down, force you to visualize, and create a private dialogue between the words and your soul in a way movies and social media can't match. Barry shares practical insights into his writing process, why he often writes without an outline, how reader feedback sharpened his character development, and what's coming next (including a twist-filled vampire novel, a heartfelt story for his daughter, and a Dark Star prequel and sequel). If you love science fiction, military thrillers, faith-driven stories, or need a nudge to pick up a book, and maybe a pen. Again, this conversation will rekindle your imagination and remind you why stories matter. Quotes: "I wanted to create a believable universe. I didn't want it to be just things appear, things are there, and there's no real explanation behind it." "I will tell people over and over again: don't stop reading. Technology is wonderful, but it can't replace a good book on a quiet evening." "When you're reading, it's between the words on the page and your soul. You envision what's on the pages. You can't do that in a movie theater." Contact Details: Visit Barry J.

What makes you 'you'? If scientists made a digital replica of your mind, would this new 'you' be conscious? And what does this all mean for what it means to exist?Whole-brain emulation (often called “mind uploading” in science fiction) refers to the possible future ability to scan a human brain in such detail that a digital replica could be created, capable of functioning, and perhaps even experiencing the world, like the original. While we are far away from this now (the current record is a fruit fly) an increasing number of neuroscientists and entrepreneurs are betting that we may be closer than most think.

From author Justin C. Key comes The Hospital at the End of the World: A Novel (Harper, 2026), set in a near future where artificial intelligence runs the world, involving a young medical student who must unravel family secrets to uncover the truth of his father's mysterious death. In a time not so far from our own, society is run by a global AI system controlled by an all powerful corporation. The Shepherd Organization oversees every medical school in the country save one in New Orleans, the renegade Hippocrates which still insists on human-led medicine. It is the last choice school for an ambitious young New Yorker named Pok. But after his father—himself a physician—dies under mysterious circumstance that seems connected to “the shepherds” and their megalomaniacal young CEO, Pok finds himself on a quest for answers that leads right to Hippocrates. Once enrolled, he stumbles upon a further mystery: a strange illness is plaguing newcomers to New Orleans who grew up under shepherd rule. What is causing this fatal anomaly? And how does it relate to the mystery of Pok's father's death and his own mysterious past? Justin C. Key is a practicing psychiatrist and a speculative fiction writer. He is the author of the debut novel The Hospital at the End of the World and the story collection The World Wasn't Ready for You. His stories have appeared in the Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Strange Horizons, Escape Pod, Lightspeed, and on Tor.com. He received a BA in biology from Stanford University and completed his residency in psychiatry at UCLA. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife and three children. Learn more about your ad choices.

Earth keeps getting hotter. And despite some efforts to slow planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions, they're still rising, leaving a lot of people hungry for alternative climate solutions. One idea: reflect sunlight away from Earth. Amy Scott, host of the Marketplace climate podcast, “How We Survive,” looked into one out-there proposal to do just that, and whether it could one day become a reality.
