The ethical dilemma of fully autonomous weapons and the military-industrial complex
In short: In this lecture, Yorick Wilks examines the rise of AI-driven weaponry and the profound moral questions surrounding their deployment, from state responsibility to corporate accountability.
The lecture explores the arguments surrounding the use of fully autonomous weapons. It investigates the tension between a state's duty to protect its citizens and the ethical choices made by the corporations that drive the military-industrial complex.
Beyond the technology itself, Wilks addresses the emergence of a specific form of psychopathology within some weapons producers and the broader implications of AI in modern warfare.
