Technology on the battlefield has always outpaced our ability to govern it. Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems (LAWS) went from science fiction in 2014 to active use in conflicts today, while Geneva debated definitions and how existing IHL applies. My take in @dawn_com

YOU'RE BORN. YOU SEE PANTS STYLES GO FROM BAGGY TO SKINNY BACK TO BAGGY EVERY 10 YEARS FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. YOU DIE. THE END

AI can reason, write, create and increasingly make decisions. But as we hand over more of these tasks, what are we giving up in return?
The debate on AI often centres on productivity, efficiency and capability. The harder question is what happens to human judgement, creativity and agency when machines do more of the thinking for us.
At SOT XX, Tabadlab is putting that question up for debate.

Zaffar Abbas has called it a day, after 16 yrs as Editor Dawn newspaper.
In many ways, he was seen as the last man standing at a time when Pak media has capitulated in the face of growing censorship, Dawn is being financially strangulated & the industry is in a meltdown.
Our job isn't to befriend those in power. It is to hold them accountable: Editor Dawn Zaffar Abbas @CEJatIBA
