Palestine: Surveillance & Human Rights with Dr. Matt Mahmoudi

Did you know that AI is being used to survey Palestinians in Hebron and East Jerusalem, both in their bedrooms and in their streets? Did you know that Dutch and Chinese companies are supporting this surveillance? In this episode, we talked to Dr. Matt Mahmoudi, a researcher and advisor on artificial intelligence and human rights at Amnesty International, and an affiliated lecturer at the Department of Sociology at the University of Cambridge.

We discuss how Israeli security forces have been pivotal to the training of US police. We also think about creative resistance projects like plastering stickers on cameras to notify passes by that they're being watched. We hope you enjoy the show.
