Machines Making Kill Decisions_ The New Frontier in Warfare

from Conspiracy Theories Exploring The Unseen · host Michael Fortune

Imagine a battlefield where decisions about life and death aren't made by a soldier, but rather by a machine. In recent years, the introduction of autonomous weapons systems has sparked intense debate about the ethics, legality, and practicality of allowing machines to make these ultimate decisions. It all started in 2020, when a Turkish-made KARGU loitering munition was used in Libya, marking the first recorded deployment of an autonomous weapon. Fast forward to 2024, and now over 30 countries have integrated these human-supervised systems into their defense strategies, utilizing them for missions ranging from active missile defense to reconnaissance.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/conspiracy-theories-exploring-the-unseen--5194379/support.
