"This timely book offers a novel and important contribution to the emerging debate on autonomous weapons systems. Ingvild Bode and Hendrik Huelss's study presents a fresh and original perspective. The authors skilfully analyse and depict the political, legal, and ethical challenges generated by human-machine interaction and the weaponisation of artificial intelligence." Birgit Schippers, St Mary's University College Belfast and editor of The Routledge Handbook to Rethinking Ethics in International Relations"The new possibility of autonomous weapons is creating a tangle of strategic, legal, and ethical questions. This terrific book maps the terrain of these questions and points the way to integrating new technologies of war into ideas of world order. Essential reading for anyone seeking to understand how new weapons are changing the world." Ian Hurd, Weinberg College Center for International and Area Studies, Northwestern University "Ainsi que le soulignent Ingvild Bode et Hendrik Huelss, l'autonomisation des systèmes d'armes n'est pasune préoccupation futuriste mais unphénomène déjà à l'œuvre. Certaines fonctions autonomes sont déjà utilisées depuis des décennies, par exemple dansles systèmes de défense aérienne. Leur déploiement a progressivement transformé les normes d'usage de la force et de contrôle humain. Cet ouvrage est donc très pertinent pour saisir les enjeux liés à la militarisation de l'Intelligence artificielle et ses implicationspour les relations internationales engénéral." Politique étrangère"The authors present a comprehensive analytical study of AWS and its context in an innovative, pathbreaking academic work of exemplary quality that displays outstanding knowledge of military operations and their political implications." H-War, H-Net"Using the concept of procedural norms, the authors demonstrate that standards of appropriateness relating to the use of AWS have already emerged, despite the relative novelty of AI-powered weapons."
