⏳ Excited to share my new piece, published in @millennjournal.bsky.social! I explore how imagined futures of emergent and disruptive tech loop back to shape present-day politics of war - and how the early history of military ballooning (1783-1907) shows us this recursive logic at work.

🚨 New article
In it, @fredwindfeld.bsky.social shows that the contention over defining Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems (LAWS) is not reducible to country positions alone; it also has its roots in epistemic contests over what constitutes superior knowledge.

My article looks at how legal, technical, and military expertise condition the debate over defining and regulating lethal autonomous weapons systems (LAWS)—and how such “epistemic struggles" can produce political effects in global governance.
