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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45273777995927,"sku":"9781137523600","price":5087.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781137523600.webp?v=1769237581","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/ethics-and-autonomous-weapons-9781137523600","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
