description | The application of autonomous combat systems is one of the most promising directions of military technology development, heralding a revolution in waging wars (the so-called “robolution”). Robots present a set of advantages over human soldiers. Interestingly, they are related not only to the sphere of operational efficiency, but also, potentially, to the sphere of ethics. However, a great deal of technological and ethical dilemmas should be resolved when using combat machines being robots par excellence: capable of operating autonomously (including making life and death decisions). The article focuses on the challenges and possible solutions in building the artificial morality of autonomous combat systems. There are two development approaches – top-down and bottom-up – reflecting two ethical stances: rigorism and situationism. |
