Book launch: The Realities of Autonomous Weapons (Bristol / Hybrid) - 10th July evening

                The development of autonomous weapon systems has been subject to intense 
discussions for years. Numerous political, academic or legal 
institutions debate the consequences and risks that arise from these 
technologies, particularly their ethical, social and political 
implications.

The rationale of “The Realities of Autonomous Weapons” maintains that 
the issues in question can only be understood by acknowledging the 
constant and complex dynamic between the actual technological 
developments and the visions and virtual scenarios that are associated 
with them. For this reason, the perspectives taken in the book 
foreground the different realities of autonomous weapon systems, ranging 
from popular culture, war scenarios, new media environments to technical 
precursors. This sheds a light on how autonomous weapon systems are 
constructed as both a technological reality and a futuristic possibility.

We welcome people participating in Bristol from 5pm, when some snacks 
and drinks will be provided.

We will start the hybrid discussion at 5.30PM (BST)

The event will be hybrid. Register here:
