  • As Silicon Valley chases military tech and funding, it's losing sight of what inspires its workers. This personal reflection is part of a series called Turning Points, in which writers explore what critical moments from this year might mean for the year ahead. You can read more by visiting the Turning Points series page.

The article from The New York Times, published on December 5, 2024, discusses the intersection of technology, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), with the ongoing protests related to the Gaza conflict. It explores how tech companies and AI are being utilized in various ways by both protesters and authorities. Protesters are using AI tools to organize, spread their messages, and even to create deepfakes to influence public opinion. Conversely, law enforcement and governments are employing AI for surveillance, crowd control, and predictive policing to manage and sometimes suppress these demonstrations. The piece highlights ethical dilemmas, privacy concerns, and the potential for AI to both empower and undermine democratic processes. It also touches on the broader implications of AI in conflict zones, where technology can amplify the reach and impact of protests but also poses risks of misinformation and increased state control.
