GZERO World Clips

Highlights from the GZERO World with Ian Bremmer weekly television show.

Bloomberg defense tech reporter Katrina Manson, author of a new book on Project Maven, discusses what the IDF's use of AI in Gaza reveals about the gap between US and Israeli standards for civilian harm. Manson draws on investigative reporting from 972 Magazine, as well as her own conversations with US military officials who analyzed the IDF's approach.

That reporting found very little time between AI-surfaced intelligence and actual strikes. US officials told Manson that Israel had not broken the laws of armed conflict, but was "leaning in towards autonomous processes in a way that the US had never leaned anywhere near as close."

What this reveals is a stark difference in how two allied militaries weigh civilian harm. Manson says the IDF was prepared to accept higher casualty numbers per mid-ranking target than US military tradition allows. That gap is a policy question as much as a technology one; as Manson and Drew Kukor, the former chief of Project Maven, both acknowledge, AI and policy are "absolutely interlinked".

Powering what's next

Energy used to be a predictable cost. Now it's a constraint on growth, and businesses are rethinking how they plan and build.

GZERO Media’s Tony Maciulis sat down with Susan Uthayakumar, Chief Energy and Sustainability Officer at Prologis, to discuss how rising power demand from automation, AI and fleet electrification is changing where and how companies build. Together, they examine the role real estate plays in energy infrastructure, what effective public-private partnerships look like, and how on-site power generation can support communities in crisis.
