The Ethics of Autonomous Weapons and Moral Agency

Quick fact

A fully autonomous weapon could potentially make targeting decisions in milliseconds—far faster than a human can intervene—raising the question of whether anyone can truly be held responsible for its actions.

Why this is interesting

Imagine a drone that flies on its own, decides who is a target, and fires without asking anyone. Would we call that drone moral? Who would we blame if it made a terrible mistake?
