In the summer season of 2020 American intelligence analysts in Afghanistan acquired a warning from “Raven Sentry”, an artificial-intelligence (AI) device that they’d been working for a number of months. There was a excessive likelihood, the AI informed them, of a violent assault in Jalalabad, the capital of the jap Nangarhar province, initially of July. It will most likely trigger between 20 and 40 casualties. The assault got here, just a little late, on August 2nd, when Islamic State struck town’s jail, killing some 29 individuals.
