Autonomous Weapon
Weapons systems that can identify and strike targets without direct human control. Enabled by AI and sensors, they raise serious ethical concerns — from biased targeting and lack of accountability to the automation of lethal force. These systems contribute to the global arms race, reinforcing or challenging military hegemony as states compete to maintain domination on the world stage.
