Autonomous weapons systems are not a matter for the distant future: some autonomous features, such as in air defense systems, have been in use for decades. They have already incrementally changed use-of-force norms by setting emerging standards for what counts as meaningful human control. As United Nations discussions drag on with minimal progress, the trend towards autonomizing weapons systems continues. This book provides an analysis of the normative repercussions of weaponizing artificial intelligence" ER -
