They’re expecting the backlash, and will try to convince the public to accept "AI systems" and all this digitization by selling the benefits of AI, and its supposed superiority over humans — from driverless cars to health. Meanwhile, they’ll continue building the techno-surveillance state, with AI serving to collect, exploit and weaponize the data against us. From the panel "Technology in the world" #WEF25

Palantir = Surveillance + Genocide Today, anti-war and climate activists with CODEPINK, @notechforapartheid, & @extinctionrebelliondc were kicked out of an AI expo presentation with Palantir and the head of the Navy. Palantir enables Israel's genocide in Gaza and has just launched new plans with Trump to ramp up surveillance of Americans. This is not innovation. We demand technology that serves the people and planet, not the war machine!

Almost 70% of those who have died in the war in Gaza were women and children, according to the UN's Human Rights Office. The agency said the analysis is from nearly 10,000 verified victims over a six-month period. The fallout from the war between Israel's military and Hamas militants has been called a 'systematic violation' of international humanitarian law by the UN.

Anne Neuberger says technology is now the arena of national power: "Technology moved from being a tool of diplomacy, of national power, to the arena of it." "The supply chain for chips was not a technology issue as much as a foundational economic and national security issue." "A software vulnerability is now not an IT issue. It can be a source of leverage, particularly if that vulnerability is in key parts of your power systems or your water systems." "Deterrence is no longer just the size of a military." "Those technologies today are not being built by governments, they're being built by the private sector, whether that's AI systems, whether that's autonomous systems, whether that's cyber defense systems." Anne Neuberger

Whose technology can we partner with - without worrying that it will be weaponised against us down the road? The future of tech has to be shaped by countries that trust each other, and are trusted by the rest of the world. #BRICS2026
