important when you think about new weapons and new technologies. Today, there are autonomous weapons, cyber weapons, and even 3D-printed weapons. All this needs to be addressed, and the law must be adapted to new challenges, namely technological change. Arms control law and international humanitarian law

On top of that, a  UN report  on the Libyan civil war suggests that autonomous weapons are already in use. In this

forward today’s debates by discussing the overly narrow focus on the implications of the use of AI in military applications. As the barriers to the integration of other applications of AI into the military may be lower than for autonomous weapons systems (AWS), it is an extremely pressing question to
