Target audience note It includes Bibliography and Index Pages.<br/><br/>About this book<br/><br/> This book is amongst the first academic treatments of the emerging debate on autonomous weapons. Autonomous weapons are capable, once programmed, of searching for and engaging a target without direct intervention by a human operator. Critics of these weapons claim that ‘taking the human out-of-the-loop’ represents a further step towards the de-humanisation of warfare, while advocates of this type of technology contend that the power of machine autonomy can potentially be harnessed in order to prevent war crimes. This book provides a thorough and critical assessment of these two positions. Written by a political philosopher at the forefront of the autonomous weapons debate, the book clearly assesses the ethical and legal ramifications of autonomous weapons, and presents a novel ethical argument against fully autonomous weapons.<br/><br/>Table of Contents:<br/><br/><br/>Front Matter<br/>Pages i-vii<br/>PDF<br/>Ethics and the Autonomous Weapons Debate<br/><br/> Alex Leveringhaus <br/><br/>Pages 1-30<br/>Autonomous Weaponry: Conceptual Issues<br/><br/> Alex Leveringhaus <br/><br/>Pages 31-58<br/>From Warfare Without Humans to Warfare Without Responsibility?<br/><br/> Alex Leveringhaus <br/><br/>Pages 59-87<br/>Human Agency and Artificial Agency in War<br/><br/> Alex Leveringhaus <br/><br/>Pages 89-117<br/>Conclusion<br/><br/> Alex Leveringhaus <br/><br/>Pages 119-123<br/>Back Matter<br/>Pages 125-131<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>
