On battlefields and the home front, A.I. is being rapidly weaponized and taught how to kill.

As tech companies push Artificial Intelligence ever further into daily experience, so too have they been scraping social media for data to train autonomous killing machines. Flash Wars explores disturbing global trends around A.I., seen by militaries and police departments around the Western world as a viable solution to ever diminishing recruitment numbers. But with more and more control over weapons systems and decision making ceded to algorithms, profound philosophical, legal, and ethical questions arise along with the possibility that an all out war could be initiated and fought without a human ever being involved.
