Description :
Autonomous weapons are an emotive subject, with the potential to change the whole nature of warfare.
Could machines one day be able to carry out killing without human control and what should we do about the legal and moral implications of that possibility ?
A five-day long conference in Geneva in April 13th-17th, 2015 has been looking at just such issues. Kathleen Lawand, Head of the ICRC's arms unit and one of the speakers at the conference discusses the legal and ethical issues that these weapons pose.
Las armas autónomas son un tema que genera controversia, por su potencial de modificar por completo la naturaleza de las guerras. ¿ Es posible que algún día las máquinas maten sin control de los humanos, y qué deberíamos hacer en torno a las consecuencias legales y morales de esa posibilidad ?
