US President Donald Trump’s failure to condemn white supremacy during the first presidential debate triggered renewed focus on his racist rhetoric.

In this season's first episode of UpFront, we discuss Trump’s racism with journalist Jemele Hill, who faced a backlash for calling the president a white supremacist back in 2017 and was not long after suspended from the US sports network ESPN.

And in the Arena, we debate whether an administration led by Democratic challenger Joe Biden in Washington would make any difference in US policy towards the Palestinians.

“A mass assassination factory” was the headline of the investigation by +972 magazine and Local Call that unveiled the use of an artificial intelligence (AI) based targeting system by Israel.

The system, called Habsora, or the Gospel in English, uses advanced technology to get targeting recommendations faster than a team of human beings.

But, are technological advances making war deadlier? What kind of information goes into an AI-based military targeting system like the one Israel uses?

On UpFront, software engineer and member of the Stop Killer Robots coalition, Laura Nolan, talks to Marc Lamont Hill about using AI systems in warfare.
