The Ethics of Autonomous Weapons Systems

About this episode

The episode discusses the ethical implications of using artificial intelligence in warfare and the challenges in regulating it.

Artificial intelligence is transforming warfare faster than the legal and ethical frameworks designed to govern it. Militaries around the world are deploying AI-powered decision support systems to identify targets, assess proportionality, and direct weapons. The gap between what is technically possible and what international law can effectively regulate is widening by the day. Yuval Shany
