Consumer generative artificial intelligence (GEN AI) readily provides non-state actors, extremists, and criminals the ability to program consumer drones for autonomous flight and object (pattern) targeting for weaponization purposes.Proof-of-concept activities I directed at C/O Futures confirm the substantial uplift GEN AI provides to actors with no formal coding skills to weaponize drones that autonomously attack…

Today’s weather forecasting has become highly dependable out to two weeks, while longer-term climate forecasts are also increasingly accurate. But a critical gap persists in sub-seasonal forecasting between two and six weeks, where current models come up short. Better predictions in this window would improve crucial decisions related to farming, managing wildfires, allocating water and…

Knowledge workers such as scientists, teachers, lawyers, and business leaders are increasingly using generative artificial intelligence applications for tasks that demand imagination, creativity, and problem solving. Ironically, perhaps, recent research shows that people who interact with generative AI for work tasks can end up not thinking critically. They can surrender to AI’s quick and confident…
