Man of war
Trump has made Israel’s war with Iran more dangerous for the region
Donald Trump is no peacemaker. While out of power, he railed against America’s “forever wars”. He claimed that if he were the President, the Ukraine war would never have started. The Trump base blamed America’s globalists for its forever wars. Yet, on Mr. Trump’s watch, Israel, Washington’s closest ally, began attacking Iran on June 13, even as the U.S. and Iran were still in talks. At first, Mr. Trump and his Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that America was not involved in the war, and warned Iran against targeting U.S. soldiers or bases in West Asia. Iran did not. Tehran’s response was directed solely at Israel, the aggressor. But a week later, when Israel was struggling to intercept Iranian ballistic missiles, American B2 bombers dropped bunker-busting bombs at Fordow, Iran’s most heavily fortified nuclear facility, while U.S. submarines fired Tomahawk missiles at the Natanz and Isfahan nuclear plants. This is now unmistakably Mr. Trump’s war. He came to power promising peace. And in just six months, he has become a warmonger and a globalist aggressor. When it comes to wars, the U.S. hardly learns from its mistakes. It invaded Afghanistan in 2001, vowing to destroy al-Qaeda. defeat the Taliban and “democratise” the country. But 20 years later, it handed it back to the Taliban. It invaded (and destroyed) Iraq in 2003, lying that Baghdad possessed weapons of mass destruction. It invaded (and destabilised) Libya in 2011 in the name of protecting Libyans from their government. In the case of Iran, America’s intelligence agencies concluded in March that Iran did not have an active weaponisation programme. Iran once signed a nuclear agreement with the U.S. and other major powers and accepted checks on its nuclear programme. It was Mr. Trump who tore up the deal. Iran again joined talks with the U.S., and it was Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s Prime Minister, who destroyed diplomacy this time. This war will have serious consequences for West Asian stability and global order. Major powers will now have less incentives to trust Mr. Trump’s overtures for dialogue. Smaller powers will have greater incentives to join the arms race for their own survival. North Korea will never give up its nukes. If Iran’s regime survives this storm, it could seek to rebuild its nuclear programme. If it decides to strike American bases, the war could spiral into something more dangerous. Mr. Netanyahu’s unchecked militarism, which is in part aimed at protecting his hold on power at home, has plunged the region into a deep security abyss. Mr. Trump has made it catastrophically worse by turning Israel’s war into America’s war. Darker days lie ahead for West Asia.
Compensating theft
News publishers must have legal protection from AI systems
Large language artificial intelligence models are fuelled by content on the Internet, and much of this content comprises news reports gathered, curated and published by media professionals and organisations with decades of experience. As creative industries reckon with their labour getting diffused into unaccountable clusters of graphics processing units that reproduce styles and spit out human-level artwork in mere seconds, the news industry has reason to fear the compounding of permissionless innovation into an existentially threatening heist of several lifetimes of work. Previous waves of digitisation peeled away captive audiences from print and broadcast media by replacing these with a web-charged attention economy, and Big Tech platforms further squeezed news media’s place in these rapid transformations by often short-changing the very sources of information that their businesses relied on to be useful to the public. In a landscape where even precarious business models in the Internet age are threatened by a reluctance to pay for news and declining public trust in professional news-gathering, AI may very well be a body blow. It is clear: AI firms, with their billions in market capitalisation, must not be permitted to just take what they want from the Internet, synthesise these inputs into monetised insights, and pretend that the whole process is a form of victimless, innovative progress. Publishers have a clear right to decide who gets to hoover up their entire corpuses, and to ensure that their businesses benefit from the AI wave. To this end, the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade’s committee on copyright and AI is a welcome step. This is not a decelerationist, or “decel” demand, as those who advocate for rapid AI development might be quick to say. The news industry has fought as search giants and social media companies profited enormously on the back of its content and set the terms for how the financial benefits flowed back to it. That cannot be permitted to happen — as social media platforms turn more and more into video-focused walled gardens, discouraging even a step outside their apps. For the news organisations, the avenues to earn are shrinking. As AI-generated overviews of news content with source links are reduced to a footnote, it is time for compensation to be negotiated at the time of publishers’ content being scraped from their websites in the first place. AI firms may claim “fair use” in model training, but there is nothing fair — morally or legally — about accessing and disseminating troves of news without taking the creators and processors into confidence. News publishers and policymakers must now fight for their share in the AI era.
