Eyal Weizman examines algorithmic death in LRB essay

Original: Eyal Weizman · Necro-Economics: Death by Algorithm | London Review of Books - LRB https://www. lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v48/n

Architect and forensic researcher Eyal Weizman has published a long essay, 'Necro-Economics: Death by Algorithm', in the London Review of Books. The piece examines how algorithmic systems shape decisions about life and death, with the discussion tied to Gaza, US politics and the question of genocide. Readers are sharing the article widely, framing it as a significant contribution to debates over technology's role in war and humanitarian crisis.

Why now: The essay's argument that algorithms determine who lives and dies in Gaza speaks directly to ongoing controversy over AI in warfare and US support for Israel.
