INVESTIGATING THE K*ll CLOUD
Information Warfare, Autonomous Weapons & AI
10 Year Anniversary & 34th Conference of the Disruption Network Lab
This conference is directly linked to the activity of the Disruption Network Institute, a new center for investigation and empirical research into the impact of artificial intelligence on new technologies of war, automated weapons and networked warfare, established by the Disruption Network Lab in September 2023. The independent research project “Investigating the K*ll Cloud” (2023-2024) has been investigating links between artificial intelligence, surveillance, drone deployment, and further developments of automated weapon systems, aiming to produce knowledge urgently needed to critically assess and regulate the further merging of artificial intelligence into warfare.
The concept of the “K*ll Cloud” was first outlined by drone whistleblowers Cian Westmoreland and Lisa Ling in the anthology Whistleblowing for Change (Tatiana Bazzichelli, transcript Verlag, 2021). It refers to the rapidly growing networked infrastructure of global reach with the primary intent of dominating every spectrum of warfare, including, space, cyberspace, and the electromagnetic spectrum itself. Westmoreland and Ling discussed how modern network centric warfare has been hidden behind the captivating image of the drone, all the while these systems are vastly more complex, insidious, ubiquitous, and inaccurate than the public is aware, and its colonial underpinnings continue to bring endless war to societies across the globe (as we are currently witnessing, for example, in Gaza and Ukraine).
In connection to the Disruption Network Institute’s work, this conference will investigate:
- How does the inclusion of artificial intelligence and autonomy impact networked warfare?
- What are the experiences/knowledge of whistleblowers which undermine networked warfare’s legality, morality, and ethics?
- What challenges does global connectivity, AI, and connected weaponry bring to democracy, human rights and the civil society?
- How does algorithmic warfare based on data mining and machine learning effect targeting killing policy?
- How is information warfare fueled by social media and cellphone location-tracking surveillance?
- How is artistic practice able to produce evidence in the field of information warfare?
