Battling Killer Robots w/ BDS Japan Bulletin & Engineers Against Apartheid
Industrial robotics company, FANUC, was the only Japanese company named in the Albanese report on Israel’s “economy of genocide.” This week on CounterPunch Radio, we speak with members of BDS Japan Bulletin and Detroit-based Engineers Against Apartheid to understand the role that FANUC robots play in the production of 155mm shells, one of the primary weapons used in the genocide in Gaza, and the complicated nature of robots as “dual-use” products — with both civilian and military application. BDS Japan discusses automation and how AI fits into Japan’s current right-wing political climate, while EAA addresses the militarization of Michigan’s manufacturing sector and how workers in the automotive industry are organizing against it.
