Just War Theory and Artificial Intelligence : Challenges and Consequences

Two of the most crucial issues facing humanity in the contemporary world are artificial intelligence and armed conflict.

This book tackles them both by bringing them into conversation with one another and creating an understanding of their relationship.

New developments in technology, especially within weapons systems, have challenged our understandings of just war theory as warfare becomes more remote, thus changing the nature of the questions to be asked of and by those engaged in conflict.

Covering topics such as drone warfare and the use of wargaming by combatants, this collection seeks to answer those questions with essays from leading experts in the field.

It will be a valuable resource for those interested in both the development of artificial intelligence generally and warfare specifically.
