Will AI-Powered Autonomous Weapons Obey the Laws of War

As artificial intelligence technologies take center stage in modern conflicts through areas such as intelligence analysis and target detection, the extent to which these systems can comply with the laws of war is being debated internationally.

Artificial Intelligence in Modern Conflicts

While artificial intelligence systems continue to rapidly find a place in contemporary military conflicts, they help armies analyze intelligence, identify targets, and support field operations.

Proponents of the technology argue that artificial intelligence can make wars more precise and contribute to the protection of civilians.

Legal and Ethical Debates

Experts and critics warn that certain critical decisions should under no circumstances be delegated to machines.

The extent to which international laws drafted after World War II can regulate conflicts in the age of artificial intelligence is also a matter of curiosity.
