The Pentagon has submitted a request to Congress to reallocate some $4.7 billion toward higher priority programs aimed at making the American defense apparatus more capable and lethal in the shortest timeline possible.

Giving troops on the ground the ability to confirm the identity of a target offers a value that goes without saying.

In 2016, researchers found more than 900 hate groups operating in the US, with over 100 of them having a presence on Twitter. Twitter has declared a ban on them and last month the purge began. But Twitter also got heat for doing it wrong when it banned a satire site. Ex-NSA analyst Emily Crose has been […]
An international effort from leaders in technology and artificial intelligence (AI) spearheaded by Elon Musk is calling on the United Nations to take proactive measures against the spread of future lethal autonomous technology: killer robots.
