Abstract:
What happens when science fiction becomes battlefield reality?
An amazing revolution is taking place on the battlefield, starting to change not just how wars are fought, but also the politics, economics, laws, and ethics that surround war itself. This upheaval is already afoot -- remote-controlled drones take out terrorists in Afghanistan, while the number of unmanned systems on the ground has gone from zero to 12,000 over the last five years. But it is only the start. What are the political, military, legal, and moral questions that we have to figure out, as we begin to hand over more and more of warfighting to our machines?
