#AI Ethics

Pope Leo XIV's first encyclical, Magnifica humanitas, calls for democratic guardrails, labor protections, and moral limits on AI. What does it mean when the world's oldest institution confronts its newest disruption?

Palantir has become the tech backbone of Trump's immigration enforcement. Former employees are calling it a 'descent into fascism.' What happens when the people who build surveillance tools start asking uncomfortable questions?

The US defense budget request for FY2027 includes $53.6 billion for drone and autonomous warfare—more than most nations spend on their entire military. What does this mean for global security and the future of war?

The Pentagon is exploring using generative AI chatbots to rank and prioritize military strike targets. As a US missile strike kills over 100 children at an Iranian school, questions about AI's role in targeting decisions grow urgent.

Anthropic filed two federal lawsuits against the Trump administration after being labeled a 'supply chain risk' for refusing to greenlight autonomous weapons use. What this fight means for AI ethics, defense contracts, and the future of the industry.

Caitlin Kalinowski resigned from OpenAI's robotics team over its rushed Pentagon agreement. Her departure raises hard questions about AI governance, speed, and who holds the line inside big tech.
