GRP 115- Our guest for this week\u2019s episode is Pentagon defense expert and former U.S. Army Ranger Paul Scharre. Paul\u2019s new book, ARMY OF NONE: Autonomous Weapons and the Future of War is a necessary analysis of this new world. In the book, Scharre traces the emergence of this technology, drawing on incisive research and his personal experiences through four combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan to explore the moral and practical challenges of machine-decision making in today\u2019s messy, modern wars. \n\nWe covered:\n\n\u2022 The rise of fully autonomous weapons and the movement to ban them\n\n\u2022 The legal and ethical issues surrounding autonomous weapons \n\n\u2022 The role of artificial intelligence in military technology\n\n\u2022 How fatal incidents of autonomous weapons gone wrong inform and refine operating procedures, doctrine, and software \n\n\u2022 How do nations trust one another in an environment of autonomous weapons and cooperate to avoid harmful outcomes?\n\n\u2022 When a robot kills, who stands trial?\n\n\nFollow my co-host and my pages on social media.
