Dear Nettime list, yesterday, on the symbolic date of September 11, Disruption Network Lab launched a research programme: Disruption Network Institute. Investigating the Kill Cloud.In parallel to our programme of conferences and events, this new hub forinvestigations and empirical research will focus on how artificial intelligence impacts new technologies of war, automated weapons, and networked warfare. On the brand new https://disruption.institute you will find research abstracts and more. An essential novel aspect of the Institute's approach is the direct involvement of whistleblowers and other affected experts. With this approach, the Institute not only feeds into an important ongoing debate regarding the future of warfare, public participation therein, as well as the protection of civilians – it also directly mobilises theknowledge of people with first-hand experience of these systems from within.Four research fellows joined the Institute to start working with us: Lisa Ling (Whistleblower, Technologist, former Technical Sergeant, USAir Force Drone Surveillance Program), Jack Poulson (Executive Director,Tech Inquiry), Naomi Colvin (Whistleblower Advocate andUK/Ireland/Belgium Programme Director at Blueprint for Free Speech), andJoana Moll (Artist and Researcher). Our advisory board includes Thomas Drake (Whistleblower, former SeniorExecutive at the National Security Agency), Jesselyn Radack (Head of theWhistleblower and Source Protection Program at ExposeFacts), Alexa Koenig (Co-Faculty Director and Adjunct Professor, University of California, Berkeley School of Law), Khalil Dewan (Head of Legal Investigations at Stoke White), and many more. Cooperation partners are Human Rights Center, University of California Berkeley; Proto-Centre for Radical Matter: Art. Philosophy. Wild Science. at the Royal College of Art, London; Airwars at University of Goldsmiths, London. Any feedback is welcome!
