discussion about the ethical implications and potential consequences of autonomous weapons systems. “There have been extensive discussions on autonomous weapon systems, but there should be a greater focus on software-based applications of AI that can have significant implications in the military

target selection . In her article, Taylor points out that software-based applications likely face less scrutiny and far fewer obstacles to deployment than autonomous weapons systems. Nonetheless, target selection is a crucial aspect of warfare that can result in collateral damage to civilians and

, rather than new laws . Kwik advocates for a proactive approach, suggesting potential solutions like creating a new manual similar to the Tallinn Manual , which addresses autonomous weapons and other innovative technologies.   C onsidering the rapid advancements in AI and the growing concerns

adversarials are used, and who can be held responsible in that case .   All weapons have countermeasures, and autonomous weapons, weapons that can select and engage targets without further intervention by humans, using artificial intelligence (AI) are no different. In 2017, researchers 3D-printed a

The ability to understand why an algorithm behaved in a particular way, also

merely generate targets rather than launch attacks– and so they have received comparatively less attention than autonomous weapons systems . This partly stems from the belief that human decision-making still plays a big role when launching attacks involving AI-DSS, but Bo and Dorsey challenge th is
