Cultures of Militarism Working Group

In the Cultures of Militarism Working Group, we recognize that militarization has far-reaching consequences, transforming aspects of our everyday lives in even the most personal of spaces. This is particularly evident in the convergence of militarization and artificial intelligence where everyday technological devices have been used as tools for surveillance and control. This group formed out of shared and urgent concerns: the need to increase the visibility of the connections between the ever-increasing role of militarization in our communities, including its sociocultural, political, economic and technological dimensions that have have transformed our lives in ways that often go unnoticed.
