Militaries across the world are in an "AI arms race," says Heidy Khlaaf, a chief AI scientist at the AI Now Institute, which just released a joint report with Airwars titled "Anatomy of an AI Kill Chain."

From London, we revisit the Gaza Tribunal, an independent, nongovernmental inquiry into the United Kingdom's complicity in the Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. The tribunal, held nearly one year ago, was chaired by our three guests: former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, Israeli professor of human rights law Neve Gordon and Palestinian legal scholar Shahd Hammouri. Their new book is titled The Gaza Tribunal: Britain's Complicity in Genocide. We discuss the recent apology from Prime Minister Andy Burnham over the Labour Party's early support for Israel's assault on Gaza, the United Kingdom's crackdown on the Palestine Action protest group under counterterrorism laws, and whether British policymakers will face any accountability for participating in "one of the biggest crimes in humanity."
