SUMMARY:POUG 2026
DESCRIPTION:Cat Pics and Kill Chains – AI in Modern Warfare \nFor many of us in IT\, artificial intelligence is a favorite toy – or even a source of income. But it has long since become part of everyday military operations – and there’s a hot war in Europe\, just 1\,500 km from my home. \nAI there is used to kill people – and that’s no game. It’s supposed to tell tanks from tractors\, control missiles and drones\, optimize logistics\, and support command structures. But wars are chaotic and improvised – sometimes low-tech beats high-tech\, and even Goliath struggles when facing a pesky David. \nIn this talk\, we bring together military terminology\, IT technology\, and ethics: from staging areas to image recognition\, from “effectors” powered by NVIDIA chipsets and trained models to the fully automated kill chain. We’ll examine the strengths and weaknesses of military AI systems\, look at real-world examples from the war in Ukraine\, and discuss ethical questions such as “meaningful human control\,” „dual-use“\, and „ex-post accountability“. \nThis session is aimed at IT professionals who want to understand how technology and the military interact in wartime – without offering simple answers to complex questions.
