The Machine Pulled the Trigger: AI and Autonomous Weapons at African Lion 2026

We explore the intersection of AI and military technology, diving into Vice News's investigation of African Lion 2026 in Morocco. We discuss how AI-powered weapon systems with lethal capacity are no longer theoretical—they're operational across nearly forty countries. We examine the critical questions surrounding autonomous weapons: who approves the shot, who takes responsibility for mistakes, and what happens when machines can identify, target, and act faster than humans can think. We challenge the comfort of the phrase human in the loop and investigate how AI is reshaping warfare and what that means for our future.
