The killers are so well armed now. They have invented weapons of mass destruction that can do to people and to places what shouldn't be allowed to happen. And that's even without the nuclear bunkers. These people have programmed systems and have removed the guardrails. All along the story with the AI programs in Gaza, they had the opportunity to narrow the parameters. They had the opportunity to insist that there was proper human oversight. All of these were brushed aside.

Andy Worthington returns to the show to discuss his recent writing, including "The Horrors of AI-Driven Military Targeting, From Gaza to Iran," and "900 Days of Genocide in Gaza." "The Moment of Truth" with Jeff Dorchen follows the interview.
