What responsibilities do users and makers have in choosing AI tools, when their development can also lead to deadly outcomes at massive scales? AI War Cloud Database catalogues the systems used to make automated decisions in warfare, and it maps where the same types of tools appear in smartphones and popular social platforms. The iris scanner tested on refugees becomes technology for a crypto wallet. The robot vacuum mapping homes becomes a bomb robot abroad. The chatbot trained by low-wage workers determines the results of your next internet search and also the next drone target or the force of the next bomb.
