1. I haven’t posted in a while. Continuing work on protecting civilians and finding ways to improve the safety and effectiveness of AI in military operations. Sometimes governments and militaries listen and sometimes they don’t. In a season of not listening, I am experimenting.

And by the way, if you haven’t heard @JohnFinnemore ‘s Cabin Pressure radio show by the @BBC then you now have something you should listen to during this holiday break. Inspired, inspiring, and so funny.

On the second anniversary of the DoD Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response Action Plan (CHMR-AP), CNA Corporation released a new report in support of OSD-SOLIC, co-authored with Sabrina Verleysen, @marlabkeenan, and Sam Plapinger, with contributions from Anna Williams. 🧵
5. And contrary to some beliefs, CHMR is not fighting with one hand tied behind our back. Previous analysis shows that the CHMR approach can yield improved operational effectiveness, help military attacks get the right target, and provide strategic and operational advantages.
