Klappentext zu „Ethics and Autonomous Weapons “
This book is amongst the first academic treatments of theemerging debate on autonomous weapons. Autonomous weapons are capable, once
programmed, of searching for and engaging a target without direct intervention
by a human operator. Critics of these weapons claim that 'taking the human
out-of-the-loop' represents a further step towards the de-humanisation of
warfare, while advocates of this type of technology contend that the power of
machine autonomy can potentially be harnessed in order to prevent war crimes.
This book provides a thorough and critical assessment of these two positions.
Written by a political philosopher at the forefront of the autonomous weapons
debate, the book clearly assesses the ethical and legal ramifications of
autonomous weapons, and presents a novel ethical argument against fully
autonomous weapons.
