Ethical Robots in Warfare

Abstract

Robotic system capabilities have advanced dramatically over the last several decades. We now have artificially intelligent systems and robots that are stronger than humans, that can venture places where people cannot go (such as Mars), that are smarter than people in certain cases (e.g., in chess), and so on. We are no longer truly surprised when machine artifacts outperform humans in new domains.
