“Technological advances in artificial intelligence and platform performance have raised the prospect that lethal remote-controlled systems will become increasingly autonomous.”
That’s the conclusion drawn from Political Science Professor Elinor Sloan’s latest article in the global politics and strategy journal, Survival, published by the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London, U.K..
Sloan writes that, just as airplanes were incorporated into warfare in the 20th century, remote-controlled and robotic technology is now becoming common in conflict regions. While it was initially used for surveillance on enemy troops, the technology now includes weaponry that is being used by the United States in countries such as Yemen and Afghanistan.
