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: https://www.headfirstbristol.co.uk/whats-on/bristol-digital-futures-institute/thu-10-jul-book-launch-the-realities-of-autonomous-weapons-130828#e130828
