#AnnelleSheline on #Iran: "It's terrifying to think that #Israel,and now perhaps the U.S.,are pursuing something like what Israel did to Gaza"
Our interview w/ #QuincyInstitute research fellow #AnnelleSheline is now available in #English free from paywall:
#IlFattoQuotidiano: "It seems like there is a gap between the military capabilities, enhanced by #AI, and the political planning. It seems they killed even people who could be potentially helpful"
#AnnelleSheline: "Absolutely"
#FattoQuotidiano: "Do the #US want #Iran to spiral into a civil war and become a failed state like Afghanistan?"
#AnnelleSheline " I think that is certainly what #Israel has wanted for a long time"
#AnnelleSheline on the #US-#Israel war against #Iran:
"I think it’s really a sad state of affairs that #European leaders have been so ready to line up behind this illegal American war and to support it and just, generally, not offer any criticism".
#AnnelleSheline: "I very much worry that #Israel could use this [#IranWar] as an excuse to fully break with the ceasefire, which they are violating every day, but they just could re-engage in a full assault on #Gaza".
#AnnelleSheline on #Anthropic's Claude in the #IranWar:
"the use of these #AI targeting tools is horrifying in the way they just inject all these potential targets and then they just proceed to murder people and there is no verification".
The intro to the article:
“She had the integrity to resign from her prestigious position as an official in the US State Department during Joe Biden’s administration because she could not accept the administration’s complicity in Israel’s genocide against Gaza. Today, Annelle Sheline is a research fellow in the Middle East program of the Quincy Institute in Washington DC.”
