Autonomous weapon systems and international law : refusing impunity
| Resumo: | More than ever, the competition to lead the technological race puts artificial intelligence in the centre of the global power play. The idea of a potential mortal weapon system that does not require a human agent on the loop is far from being just an academic hypothesis and the question arises on whom to allocate responsibility for its unlawful acts. Being a current topic, transversal to several legal and ethical issues, the focus of the present dissertation will remain on the possibility of accountability for Autonomous Weapon System’s unlawful acts in International Armed Conflicts. |
