Session
This talk confronts military technoscience, especially AI, drones, and algorithmic warfare by bridging critical scholarship and activism. It presents research on control, autonomy, targeting, and datafication, and maps feminist and anticolonial resistance strategies to build solidarities among academics, artists, and social movements to challenge the normalization of “software-based war”.
