Unfolding the Kill Cloud was a meetup that provides an opportunity for researchers, journalists, artists, whistleblowers and experts to plan research, public events, publication of findings, and advocacy activities.

Unfolding the Kill Cloud was a transdisciplinary meetup that brought together whistleblowers, researchers, artists, journalists, human rights defenders, information technology and digital culture experts to discuss the issue of data-centric warfare and its impact on civil society. The objective was to foster collaboration between disciplines to gain insight into the broader application of AI in the military and its interconnection with related technologies, such as drone warfare and the ‘kill cloud’. It provided the participants with an opportunity to plan research, public events, publication of findings, and advocacy activities, as well as plan issue development.
