Part 8/11:
The discussion around AI raises concerns about the future of automated warfare. Currently, AI-guided drones and munitions can operate semi-autonomously—receiving signals and executing missions without direct human intervention. This capability is not science fiction but a present-day reality, bringing both tactical advantages and ethical dilemmas.
Ethical and Strategic Concerns
The potential deployment of fully autonomous weapons introduces complex ethical debates. Removing human oversight from lethal decisions challenges norms established for centuries. The conversation about the morality of "letting the machine decide" when and where to strike continues to intensify, especially as AI systems become more sophisticated.
