Kill Chain

On the automated bureaucratic machinery that killed 175 children

Artificial Bureaucracy
"Menschen, die töten" (Menschen, die direkt dafür Entscheidung und Verantwortung tragen) durch Technologie, anschaulich als #KillChain bezeichnet.

#KillChain worth reading yourself:
“Decision” is wandering now. In the military context it means the system’s output, a targeting nomination scored and forwarded. In journalism and tech criticism it means much the same, the thing the AI got wrong. In neither of these does it mean what it used to mean, which is a person choosing to do something for which they could be held accountable. People are still making decisions in that sense. Someone decided to compress the kill chain. Someone decided...🧵

Palantir boldly defends its pivotal role in the "kill chain," with CEO Alex Karp declaring: "We are very, very proud of that." ⚔️💻 The tech giant highlights its AI-driven contributions to military precision amid fierce debate. #Palantir #AI #KillChain https://www.heise.de/en/news/Palantir-defends-its-role-in-the-kill-chain-We-are-very-very-proud-of-that-11211275.html

Palantir defends its role in the kill chain: “We are very, very proud of that”

“There are no secrets” is Palantir’s conference motto. Yet how its software actually works in live operation remains a secret to outsiders.

"In Iran, AI has potentially already been involved in identifying exponentially more targets than in previous wars, said Utrecht University’s Dorsey. Those targets could have existed beforehand — or they could have been generated quickly by AI systems, creating a serious concern about how carefully these have been vetted as required by law, she said.

“How do you lift the veil on a system making 37mn computations per second? How on earth would you even be able to even trace that back in any way?” Dorsey said. “Are you going to meaningfully exercise context-appropriate human control and judgment over decisions that are generated by these systems?”"

«Schneller, tödlicher — Wie Künstliche Intelligenz die "Kill Chain" im Krieg verkürzt:
Bei den Waffensystemen selbst ist der Hype größer als die tatsächliche Wirkung. Im Hintergrund erweist sich die Technologie aber als erschreckend wirkungsvoll»

Das zeitlich aktuelle Technik im Krieg eingesetzt wird, ist seit jeher so. Nun zeigt dies uns auch bei KI & Co. und dies nicht erst seit heute (schon ca. 5 Jahre).

"Shortening the kill chain” - quicker than “the speed of thought”

"The use of AI tools to enable attacks on Iran heralds a new era of bombing quicker than “the speed of thought”, experts have said, amid fears human ­decision-makers could be sidelined... Academics say AI is collapsing the time required for military decision-making. >>

#Palantir: Why is the #Israel-linked #surveillance firm embedded in #Britain's #NHS?

Medical professionals, #lawyers and #activists express concern over the #Techgiant's government contracts given ties to #USImmigration and #IsraeliSurveillance operations

By Fleur Hargreaves, January 28, 2026

"The #UKGovernment is facing growing pressure over its decision to award large government contracts to #PalantirTechnologies, a US-based data and #ArtificialIntelligence [#AI] company.

"Partially funded by the #CIA at its inception, the company has faced heavy scrutiny after receiving a £330m ($413m) contract with #NHSEngland in 2023, which is up for renewal in 2027.

"It was also recently awarded a £240m deal with the British #MinistryOfDefence (#MoD) in December, three times more than a previous contract signed in 2022.

"Palantir entered into a strategic partnership with the MoD in September, in which it pledged a £1.5bn investment to 'boost military AI' and to 'work together to transform lethality in the battlefield', according to a government press release.

"Aspects of the deal included developing a so-called '#KillChain', which uses advanced data management and #AI to better strike 'enemy target[s]'.

"This increased integration of the tech firm within the UK’s health service and armed forces has raised alarm among campaigners, who point to the company’s involvement in the #genocide in #Gaza and US President Donald Trump’s lethal campaign against unauthorised immigration.

"British MPs have also raised concerns about Palantir’s defence contracts following an investigation that revealed the #SwissArmy had rejected the company over fears that US intelligence agencies would gain access to sensitive data."
