Trevor Paglen Interviewed in Document Journal

BCNM alum Trevor Paglen was recently interviewed by Document Journal on "CIA-funded facial recognition technology, images in the post-truth era, and why AI is its own form of politics."

From the interview description:

Trevor Paglen joins Document to discuss images in the post-truth era, police abolition, and the future of privacy in America.
