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)
