<br/><br/> <br/>Book description<br/><br/>By adopting a multi-disciplinary approach, this book provides a comprehensive analysis of the legality of the use of autonomous weapons systems under international law. It examines different arguments presented by States, roboticists and scholars to demonstrate the challenges such systems will create for the laws of war. This study examines how technology of warfare seeks to increase the dissociation of risk and communication between weapons and their human operators. Furthermore, it explains how algorithms might give rise to 'errors' on the battlefield that cannot be directly attributed to human operators. Against this backdrop, Dr Seixas-Nunes examines three distinct legal frameworks: the distinction between the legality of weapons and the laws of targeting; different mechanisms of individual accountability and the importance of recovering the category of 'dolus eventualis' for programmers and technicians and, finally, State responsibility for violations of the laws of war caused by weapons' software errors.<br/><br/><br/>Select The Legality and Accountability of Autonomous Weapon Systems<br/><br/>    The Legality and Accountability of Autonomous Weapon Systems<br/>    pp i-ii<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select The Legality and Accountability of Autonomous Weapon Systems - Title page<br/><br/>    The Legality and Accountability of Autonomous Weapon Systems - Title page<br/>    pp iii-iii<br/>    A Humanitarian Law Perspective<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select Copyright page<br/><br/>    Copyright page<br/>    pp iv-iv<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select Dedication<br/><br/>    Dedication<br/>    pp v-vi<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select Contents<br/><br/>    Contents<br/>    pp vii-vii<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select Acknowledgements<br/><br/>    Acknowledgements<br/>    pp viii-ix<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select Abbreviations<br/><br/>    Abbreviations<br/>    pp x-xii<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select Introduction<br/><br/>    Introduction<br/>    pp 1-8<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select 1 - Introducing Autonomous Systems of War<br/><br/>    1 - Introducing Autonomous Systems of War<br/>    pp 9-44<br/>    The Challenges of Artificial Intelligence<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select 2 - AWS<br/><br/>    2 - AWS<br/>    pp 45-102<br/>    The Current State of the AWS Debate and of State Policy<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select 3 - Autonomous Weapon Systems and ‘Autonomy’<br/><br/>    3 - Autonomous Weapon Systems and ‘Autonomy’<br/>    pp 103-139<br/>    Weapons or Killer Robots?<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select 4 - AWS and the IHL Requirements<br/><br/>    4 - AWS and the IHL Requirements<br/>    pp 140-190<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select 5 - Accountability and Liability for the Deployment of Autonomous Weapon Systems<br/><br/>    5 - Accountability and Liability for the Deployment of Autonomous Weapon Systems<br/>    pp 191-264<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select Final Conclusion<br/><br/>    Final Conclusion<br/>    pp 265-267<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select Index<br/><br/>    Index<br/>    pp 268-274<br/>
