Dr. Samer Abdelnour, a senior lecturer at the University of Edinburgh Business School and co-founder of the Palestinian policy network Shadaka, dives deep into the chilling intersection of Big Tech and warfare. He unveils how companies like Google and Amazon contribute to Israel's surveillance state through projects like Nimbus, which utilize AI for automated targeting.
