Investigating The #KillCloud brings together the research fellows of the #DisruptionNetworkInstitute and international experts investigating the impact of artificial intelligence on new technologies of war, automated weapons and networked warfare. 29 November - 1 December 2024 in Berlin & online. Learn more and get tickets now: https://dnlb.org/34.
This month we celebrate our 10 years anniversary & the 1st year of research of the #DisruptionNetworkInstitute Investigating the #KillCloud. Our focus on technologies of war has become critically urgent and we are committed in creating safe space for critical discussion. Support us! https://dnlb.org/join.
In 2021, drone whistleblower Lisa Ling, along with Cian Westmoreland, outlined the concept of the #KillCloud in our anthology #WhistleblowingForChange. Former technical sergeant in the US Air Force's drone surveillance programme, Lisa is now a fellow at the #DisruptionNetworkInstitute. Meet her at the Investigating the Kill Cloud conference, 29 Nov - 1 Dec 2024, in #Berlin & streaming. Learn more and get tickets now: https://dnlb.org/34.
On 12 September, don't miss the screening of National Bird at the Acud Kino, a film that follows the journey of three whistleblowers determined to break the silence on the US's secret drone war.
The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with director Sonia Kennebeck, journalist Daniel Lücking and Tatiana Bazzichelli.
Lisa Ling, one of the film's interlocutors, is a #DisruptionNetworkInstitute fellow and will be joining us in Berlin for the November conference "Investigating the #KillCloud".

The User and The Beast is
Joana Moll's research for the #DisruptionNetworkInstitute. It focuses on how Ad Tech amplifies the surveillance of the military-industrial-security complex, leading to a silent militarisation of civil society: https://dnlb.org/moll.
Lisa Ling, #whistleblower, former Technical Sergeant, US Air Force Drone Surveillance Program, and #DisruptionNetworkInstitute fellow, explores accountability in Network Centric Warfare. Is ethical use of emerging technologies even possible? https://dnlb.org/ling.
Jack Poulson monitors the surveillance industry by curating public contracting records from more than 30 US allies. He focuses on cellphone location tracking, facial recognition, and the Pentagon's obscure but influential subcontracting networks.
