Algorithmic Warfare: The Rise of Autonomous Weapons

Autonomous weapons are changing the face of modern warfare, and their potential impact is both awe-inspiring and unsettling. “Algorithmic Warfare: The Rise of Autonomous Weapons” is a comprehensive analysis of the development, deployment, and ethical considerations of autonomous weapons systems in modern warfare.
By speaking with leading experts in emerging weapons technologies, the author was able to draw in on their firsthand experience and proven expertise to examine the ethical, legal, and strategic implications of these next-generation weapons. From loitering munitions to homing missiles, this book explore how Autonomous Weapons are revolutionizing the battlefield and the way we fight wars.
Through analysis of work written by defense experts, ethicists, and military leaders, this book analyzes the movement to ban autonomous weapons and the legal and ethical issues surrounding their use and spotlights the latest advancements in artificial intelligence in military technology and how they are being used to develop these autonomous systems.
This book also examines the role of national and international regulations and the potential benefits and risks of Autonomous Weapons. With at least 30 countries already developing defensive autonomous weapons that operate under human supervision, it is clear that the ethical questions surrounding this topic grow more pressing each day.
At the forefront of this game-changing debate, "Autonomous Weapons: The Future of Algorithmic Warfare" engages with military history, global policy, and cutting-edge science to argue that we must embrace technology where it can make war more precise and humane, but without surrendering human judgment. When the choice is life or death, there is no replacement for the human heart.
This book is aimed at anyone interested in the future of warfare, from military personnel to policy-makers and concerned citizens alike. From the history of the DOD’s Third Offset Strategy to the development of CBRN capable autonomous weapon systems, readers will gain a deep understanding of the current landscape of algorithmic warfare and the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. It is a must-read for those who want to gain a better understanding of the complex and ever-changing landscape of autonomous weapons and the impact they will have on our world.
