AI Weapons Systems
Artificial Intelligence on the Battlefield
Embedded Files
This project explores the use, spread, and consequences of artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-enabled weapons systems on the battlefield. It seeks to understand how advances in autonomy, machine learning, and decision-support technologies are reshaping military operations, command structures, and strategic decision-making. By examining the ways these tools influence accountability, escalation, and the global balance of power, the project highlights the transformative effect AI may have on both conflict and stability.
The study also addresses the broader ramifications of this technological shift. These include challenges to international humanitarian law, new risks of miscalculation or adversarial manipulation, and the potential for rapid proliferation among state and non-state actors. Beyond immediate military concerns, the project considers the societal and political effects of AI weapons systems, including implications for civilian protection, human rights, and arms control dynamics. Ultimately, its goal is to clarify how AI is altering the nature of warfare and to illuminate the profound ethical, legal, and security questions that emerge from its adoption.
