the more complex because a i, as a technology is, has to work with a lot of data and a lot of information to learn about the terrain, to learn about maneuvering, to learn about a 100000000000 things in order to work successfully. and that is where technology comes in play. that is where a deep learning machine learning concepts come into play. and those things will be done by the companies that produce technology that produce a lot of some companies. i mean, we can talk about technology companies that are out there in the world, starting from a google microsoft alibaba vitro. you got hundreds of millions of companies that are doing incredible work and not naming just any one of them. but everybody who's developing a, i is a contributor to the future of warfare. anybody who's remotely developing even any niche solutions with an a i is going to be of contribution to the future of why it's just like, just like office product or do you look at computers and operating systems and

tools you use our computers and our cellphone. smartphones, we have different types of smartphones, we have different apps, just like, you know, different app providers for smartphones. you'll have e, i technology providers that'll specialize in specific things that will be used by a definitely, and uh, and in war. yeah, general dynamics certainly comes to mind with their wildly human like robots. they're playing a big role in the future of warfare, aren't they? and so generally damage is one of the companies that's yes, that's the worst operating in, in, in this industry. and you know, their technology is not just there's, they're looking at the broader world, they're looking at other check that's out there. i mean, when you look at robotics it's, it's not necessary now that future robots that are in a battle field look like humans. it's not necessary for them to be that right because they're essentially a killing machine. but when it comes to maybe uh,

you know, being more channels flies looking like a human or, or what have you there? yes. you know, you could have someone looking like a robot out there. right now. robotics is that a very interesting place at a very exciting phase, generally in the world. and of course, data and war is one of the applications. but humanoid looking robots have been becoming popular. you know, we started with that. there was a robot called us of the a few years ago that the world was fascinated that i'm talking 5 years ago. i flew there fascinated with associates a robot. but now you have other things such as boston, they met the damage that was bought by google. you have a media very human looking robot and others that are now going to be that are now going to inspire this generation of robots that can move like humans, that can do things like humans, take up objects of data, need bombs, and what have you. so, so there's

a lot happening within robotics and it's not just a war. it's not just going out in the battlefield. but it's all other things associated with a situation like a war. but maybe you need to rescue people where you need to go on a recon mission where you need to maybe have a disaster that's happened in turkey as, as the earthquake and so on. so for bodies generally is changing fast. and i think we're headed in for an exciting, an interesting time when it comes to utilizing technology. gina, the upper upper hand of technology companies are going to play a big part in all of this. coming up next, p t s d has affected thousands of soldiers who saw combat 1st hands. but now even soldiers who never set foot on the battlefield, say they're suffering. find out how next we'll discuss it with in con when we return the type,

the m. o will be right back the the take a fresh look around his life. kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power to division with no real opinions. fixtures designed to simplify will confuse who really wants a better wills. and is it just because it shows you shared images presented as 1st? can you see through their illusions, going underground can oh,

when i went to the wrong just don't you have to shape house after kids and engagement equals betrayals. when so many find themselves will support, we choose to look for common ground the the i really thought that we were going to die. i crawled all the way to the right side. and then i hid behind the board. and

business has continued to stick with the system basically we want to make sure that certain dangerous, for a regular civilian should be in the hands of those people who are unsafe. that's for sake nowhere to start the welcome back to the m. o i manila chant. so there's a new kind of p t s d taking shape from soldiers who have virtual blood on their hands. well, more technology on the battlefield, absolved them of this trauma or just make the cost of war that much greater a futurist and tech expert in con is still with us. so in, because a i and economist systems are so expensive and hard to develop. only west. well,

the western countries primarily include in the us, um, or we can say china, the u a e, the saudis, and so forth. i mean, they all have them. but does that necessarily mean conventional warfare is over, or is there a possibility that human fighters, reval, group soldiers? can they fight back against what some might describe as a tech tyranny by the rich? so technology is primarily being developed in the rest. and we're talking about the developed countries and merrick, uh, china, a big, big, big creator and, and uh, these for research for emerging tech off france, germany, u. k. a name it the, the advanced company of countries are, have, have the resources, they have the institutions, they have the infrastructure to go about and do research. and it's not just

creating the happens and having factories that that, that can be reverend re, but it's really about access to technology licensing that technology. oh, naturally, many companies and providers within, within the security industry are based out of these countries because of ease of manufacturing and so on. big tank manufacturers or a fighter jet manufacturers, they're very selective places where these, these things are being produced. and so we have to look at that, the infrastructure piece of it, when it comes to other countries that purchase arms, that purchase safety, security equipment that's used in battle that's used to protect their countries, from threats and so on. everybody's a buyer, everybody who has how the economy from india to us, singapore, to, uh, you know, finland, uh everybody who's there who wants to have the edge there for joining veterans. read their, procuring all kinds of athens. and so it really depends on what's a,

what's your plan, what kind of an active war state are you in right now and how much of a priority for your nation is spending on war? for example, america spend trillions of dollars in the past couple of decades when it comes to war. and they have invested heavily into, you know, for turing new new rep in be and so on. when it comes to the middle east, everybody's a buyer. when it comes to asia, everybody's a live buyer. china is of course a producer and a very big producer consumer, a buyer of arms in general. so you know what? it's, it's all over the place. it's everywhere in the world as far as the buyers, everywhere. there's a few sellers off of the technology, and those are primarily in the best we throw around the term killer robots pretty loosely. but when we're talking about the future of warfare, it has to include intelligence collection data and so forth. so we're not only talking about, you know, terminator 2 movie characters,

we're talking about spyware, eyes in the sky, listening technology. what is that realm of? tak, look like these days. how are these tech companies collecting intelligence? that's then being shared with agencies like the pencil gone, the sienna, yay. or, and my 6 also big question, who's collecting what information? uh, we really can't tell. we really can't tell because that's literally she didn't behind the walls of and so many layers of, of, of, of, you know, the unknown. well, we can't tell is that the world today is powered by data as it has never been before. right? data plays a crucial role in everything that we do from, you know, watching out of your house and driving to your work and working and doing and being contract unit as a site, a to buying a house, travelling in anything. and everything is dictated by data in the, in recent years we've heard about big data and, and a bunch of those terms that are used in social media. but,

but that's another part of a type of data that's emerging. now i mentioned the smart tvs and cognitive cities already here, and that's where a lot more data and information is being generated on a daily basis. for example, if you take a flight from new york to london, that's like that aircraft a generates about 10 gigabytes of data in that slight approximately. and that data is then used to analyze like patterns and efficiency and so on. so even our aircraft a generating so much data these days of utilizing data of any kind to do something specific is not new. and when it comes to, you know, a war and espionage and listening technology has generally improved and scaled a lot. uh, you know, not talking about hardware, but talking about the software side of things. you can now have analysis of audio or video or you can enhance it like never before. and what is also happening is

that, um, you know, generate the of a i, as where were deep seats are now emerging, where you can seek being a person seek, being, uh, you know, sounding like a specific person. that does want to play a crucial role in espionage and, and, and misinformation and this information in the future. and so, oh, there's so many layers of it and so many different ways you can analyze it. but uh, things are becoming creepy and tricky. at the same time when it comes to the usage of information. um, you know, i reminds me off of the tv series black mirror that had a few seasons added air to few years ago. it's, it's intriguing how information is being used would be used potentially in the future. so show based on future scenarios of what the world could be. and so i'd highly recommend your viewers watching it. oh, yeah we, we know that home products like amazon's. alexa can listen in on your home

conversations. anyone with nefarious goals can tap into innocent products and, and use that for an ethical purposes. which leads to my next question actually in terms of ethics of a ton of his weapons. what does that really mean, or what does it look like to someone in your field? is it, is it even possible to program technology, to say, recognize the difference between an enemy combatant versus a civilian who perhaps as such a similar description and how they look. i mean, how do you prevent that guy from being killed instead of this guy over here? so when we talk about ethical e, i it's, it's a field that's very under developed right now. there's a huge amount of bias. a with an e i n a i, systems, irrespective of all the work that's being incredible work that's being done to develop a i, we still are not able to count a i,

r e i itself is not able to go out there and, and figure out the goods, the bad c a r 's are some intelligence systems work on training data. they work on a lot of information that is fed into a system of the systems program to algorithms, to learn different things that are happening to them, that data and make relationships between the data and to design based on the algorithm and action it and outcomes. when it comes to ethically, i how you program that data and what data you provide and how you design the algorithm is where bias comes in. and when it comes to war, if you are programming vi systems that will be used, an economist event going to be and, and machines. it's very difficult to not have bias in the end and the computers they're there. they don't have feelings, they don't have any of that. they don't have a conscious, it's very difficult to create ethics in, in a, i, in that and we,

and then send that out to war. i mean, right now it's honestly impossible to be able to determine, you know, you know, if it's a friendly or if it's a threat, because we're just not there in movies and hollywood blockbusters, everything goes great. and there's all kinds of technology doing it. but know this is a big gray area. this is a very scary saw at r e i. technology will be as it goes, we've had examples off of a i going road in the, in, in many cases. and all the information is out there in the public domain where multiple people, hundreds and thousands of people have been killed because of the wrong strikes. i and people and women, and children and innocent people have been killed of thousands and thousands on the last 20 years off of warfare if you look at it so. so my take is no, it's there's, there's none of our ethics going in there right now. it's

a field that's very severely under, under develop and know it's a gray area for, for the next many years. all right, here's a philosophical one for you. in the past, in the early 2, thousands, we'll call it drone warfare was basically being introduced by the g w bush era. and it's use has only expanded ever since then massively, under brock obama. and then we saw a number of drone operators coming forward with stories of a new kind of p t s d. so to prevent this, the advancement of smart drones have really come a long way in just the last 10 years. but ultimately, it is still programmed and traced back to a human right. so can the human creators, those who punch in the coordinates, etc, ever truly be absolved in the feeling like they took part in kelly. i think anyone

who's involved in war has to really make that choice. anybody who's involved in, i don't know, projecting their, their country from that has to really be for invested and know what it entails when it comes to a drone operators or remain a remote autonomy or a ton of us equipment operators. i think that that human element is always there when it comes to killing people and you know, in a war or in a battle, be able to destroy cities and destroy villages and so on. and you're, you're an operator of the equipment, the new part of it. you can't ignore the fact that your participants on, on many levels to what is happening on the ground. so i don't think humans going to be absolved themselves from saying that or doing or, or saying a i have nothing to do with this. this is a machine that did it. no, it's not. you know, uh everybody who was part of that process is involved. and so we have to acknowledge that, and you mentioned to us the sports, there's a, there's

a severe negative side to it. we're seeing, you know, oh, soldiers who've gone in to battle or has been part of that, their stories and more it's, there's movies being made on that. and many of those things are emerging. it has a negative, it has a huge negative side on the people were operating this machinery. and while they might do it during war and during battle, and during the times there need it. but it definitely has been shown to have a huge impact. and we can go back 25 years, look at all the wars that have been a fox from the gulf war to those and again to stand a new rock and so on. and those stories off of oh are, are out there all right, futurist and emerging tech expert, ian khan. thank you so much for that insight today. and as we can see in a perfect world, future wars wouldn't be bloodless for both soldiers and civilians. a like,

they'd be exacting, able to only get the bad guys, but we don't live in a perfect world. and technology just isn't there yet. for now, the advancement in warfare tech only seems to be expanding the amount of blood that is shed for people on the receiving end of a wealthy nations technological advances. that is going to do it for this week's episode of modus operandi the show that dig deep into foreign policy. i'm your host manila. chad, thanks for tuning in. we'll see you again next time to figure out the m o. the show room just don't

have to shape house because the application and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves will support. we choose to look for common ground, the the ukraine's military stuff with a defeat and a fail defensive on the don't yet, some friends with the russian officials. thank you. have lost at least 300 soldiers and stuff. and this isn't military vehicle that officials start waking up to the reality. you've been with the sending to ukraine to anything else in the hands of logan wilson funds against contrary to key of pledges when receiving the expensive and the last 3 year old palestinian boy dies from william, sustained doing and is waiting. all mean way to the ok price,

west bank of america's largest bank, j. p. morgan chase bite. the bullet is missing that the us dollar isn't excites on an unprecedented global scale, because the accident of the country, those governments including functions, the games solutions, the a very well welcome to you. this is the international with the latest world news update. it's good to have you company, our top story this. so the enemy has failed to break through. that's according to russia's defense ministry. which site is forces successfully repelled a large scale you creating offensive, which keeps house denied on sunday, along 5 parts of the southern. don't, yes, front, a joe, june for sale. the enemy made an unsuccessful attempt at a large scale offensive. southern don't ask 6 mobile units. so the training armed forces in 2 tank battalions were involved in the settlements of,

of the script. you know, you don't ask republic and nobody of companies that produce a regions on the list of military forces. air strikes and artillery fire inflicted heavy losses on the enemy. as we've heard from the defense industry, ukrainian force is trying to reach russian defenses in 5 areas. of don't boss now, they made some temporary volunteers in those areas, but ultimately they will repelled by the russian forces on the offensive. uh, what has been a failure they it's failed to achieve its goals. this is from the defense ministry now that we've seen footage, so it could, i doing all of the russian destruction of ukrainian military hardware. and according to the ministry of defense, this, the most have been fairly significant. they say the up to 2 story up to 300 soldiers having killed 16 tanks destroyed a 24 armed with vehicles,

including 3 of the bradley fighting vehicles. these are, of course, the vehicles that are being supplied by the united states now skirmishes or continuing in some of those areas. and this heavy fighting, in this case, it to you the key town of mount in coal, which is about 30 kilometers to the west of don't yet. so this is a strategically important city. this is where the baby attracts a, a b, lots against the population. the civilian population of the city of don't yet can cause a defense and helping working a very hard to keep the civilian population a save some of those. but all being breach to close those. uh we, we know that there was a teenager entered in one of the front line to a b is today, but this is the year to go back to the uh, the ukrainian attacked as rumors being. so it could, i think it's the start of the longer way to the long anticipated when it was

a spring offensive that's been pushed back. now this is off the ukranian president zalinski said that he was ready. the kid was ready to launch the discounts or offensive look as being some contradictory statements. one of his deck, he said that they didn't have a the, i'm the addition to, to notice the offensive. so, but this is a significant loss of full, full ukrainian. a 4th is of course, this is a developing so we will bring you more and keep you updated. as we have more, we use of nato supplied weapons by the ukranian military and groups to attack. russia has finally started to raise questions from kids, west and sponsors. the belgian prime minister is now talking about strict controls on where the ons are ending up. my chronic fear really is about the deep into the issue with aunty correspondence in the asia here in the studio. the washington post has reported on saturday that and the nc kremlin fighters the are using tactical vehicles originally given to claimed by the us and poland. now we have belgium that

is currently doing an investigation after belgian rifles were reported to be used by pro ukrainian, a forces that are fighting against russian forces within the russian territory. european weapons, so to leave it to ukraine, under the condition that they are used in ukraine territory with a purpose of defending that territory. we have st controls in place to see that this is the case. now this has been a focus of western media for months. has there been any re action from the west on the caps botched offensive attempt now war so has also the night connection with the polish ball into for which has also taken parking the effects and the boulder of vision. while the worries that the weapon supplies to framed by the west might go into the wrong hands and these worries were ignored. eventually that's exactly what happened. and according to some reports, us made antique text. mr. launchers were found in the hands of mexican drug cartel,

which they have allegedly bought from ukraine. we want to do a support ukraine to make as much progress as possible on the battlefield. so that it is in the strongest possible position at the negotiating table. and we do believe that this counter offensive will allow ukraine to take strategically significant territory back from russia areas occupied by russia that are rightfully suffering ukrainian territory. now, dozens of us, $84.00 weapons, as systems were originally shaped shipped to ukraine. but they have been purchased by the mexican cartel. ben, let's not the also, let's not forget that it has been proved in 2022. that was the supplied weapons were found in the, on the web for sale. man, according to the press secretary, demetrius desktop wasn't see friends keep on increasing and the supply from germany and france of missiles with 500 kilometer of friends. it's even more,

it's ongoing. it's not even economist and also julia hello know saves the west, also was to find a pretext for most functions against russia, on triggering t as attempts to fund any launch is promised council or offensive of the conflict. these in europe, the cost which is the conflict isn't, isn't ukraine, but all that happens to be going on because the before even meet the reaction started. i'm not talking about the, the special uh me to tell you extra refresh, i'm talking about the dial 2014, even before or the moment where to isolate twice only to rational basically. so the idea of the strategy that you did united states strategy, and you will see a long time since the default of soviet union was to expand to the, to the east and to the russia inclination of being forced to, uh, break old the, the economically that is that established with your money and we believe you will be in the countries. so it might be easy to use that these up tax season that that

coming actually from united states to different conditions for forcing you to apply sanctions against russian. which actually is it kind of suicide for the, for the european union like on the russia boogie mine called is being played by? yes. another you are a p and politician as the a stony employment is to explain most of so called aggression phone data is expansion to the east. a. this will accuse me to the expansion and escalation are adopting the imperialistic language and the dollar jewel russia. this concerns the right to small countries to make their own choices regarding their foreign policy and defense agreements, leaving alongside an aggressive state has left us and some of the country has no choice but to turn to me to for security guarantee. if you're not members of needs and you will be going through a very dark stands right down, talk about a total lack of self awareness. so a story in prime minister kaya calla said that nato, moving into the ted ever closer to the russian border over the years,

like some kind of an ex, obsessed with russia is not a threat to russia. yeah, she doesn't think the foreign military powers hanging out in her country is a threat to a sonia just to russia, did it, which it is. but other countries are earlier this year in february is donia was holding in the corner of the big nato text. because it was really disappointed that nato troops, specifically german and british soldiers would not be able to just move into a stony or permanently because it's stormy. i didn't have the proper infrastructure, probably didn't understand that. they would want some gyms on their bays to work on their gains while sitting around hockey by estonia. effectively. how does she not understand that having german and british troops and other nato troops parked inside of her country is actually been very test the definition of imperialism. in

other words, it's standing and projecting a political and military foothold. she literally asking nato to do that to her country, to occupy, and militarily, which is something that russia is not doing. and cows are so busy assessing over russia from the people in her front door. all well begging benito, do somewhat pretty well. backgrounds and histories of starting wars and for monday, ideological extremism, by the way, to just come, hey, yo and her country permanently. and apparently the progress he wasn't lost on the russian foreign ministry. life next to the address is precisely about russian history, which was constantly attacked from the west, including from the territories of what is now germany, sweden and france. nature was not a peaceful organization but admitted tree political blog whose crimes include in particular the destruction of the libyan stays, the brutal bombing of yugoslavia on the 20 you tails in a dentist on. so cows also.
