France 24 English

Invited by the French international broadcaster for live analysis of a reported autonomous drone strike, arguing that the demand for a human in the loop is obsolete for weapons that navigate by onboard camera because the link can be jammed, and that a system’s permission to strike should lapse automatically when sensor integrity or target evidence falls below the level that justified the mission. This is an invitation to speak as a subject-matter expert rather than a citation of published work.

United States Federal Register (NHTSA)

A public comment by Burak Oktenli (NHTSA-2026-0529-0007) is cited by name in footnote 10 of the notice at 91 FR 30789, Docket NHTSA-2026-0529.

“Unsupervised Detection of Underground Tunnels in Ground-Penetrating Radar Using Depth-Restricted Reconstruction Scoring” cites the author's SSRN paper Strategic Subterranean Domain Awareness (SSRN 6046594) as reference [1], with two in-body citations on pipeline-monitoring early warning and the tunnel detection problem.

The Intercept, and in syndication across five further publications

A syndicated investigative feature quotes the applicant’s Articles of War analysis directly on where responsibility for an autonomous system’s actions properly sits, identifies him as an independent researcher on artificial-intelligence systems and their governance, and sets the underlying proposition in display type. Recorded as one citation carried by six outlets.
