A Wall Street Journal Bestseller 'IT SHOULD BE READ BY ANYONE
TRYING TO MAKE SENSE OF GEOPOLITICS TODAY' FINANCIAL TIMES Three of
our most accomplished and deep thinkers come together to explore
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the way it is transforming human
society - and what it means for us all. An AI learned to win chess
by making moves human grand masters had never conceived. Another AI
discovered a new antibiotic by analysing molecular properties human
scientists did not understand. Now, AI-powered jets are defeating
experienced human pilots in simulated dogfights. AI is coming
online in searching, streaming, medicine, education, and many other
fields and, in so doing, transforming how humans are experiencing
reality. In The Age of AI, three leading thinkers have come
together to consider how AI will change our relationships with
knowledge, politics, and the societies in which we live. The Age of
AI is an essential roadmap to our present and our future, an era
unlike any that has come before.
Philosophical and ethical discussions of warfare are often tied to
emerging technologies and techniques. Today we are presented with
what many believe is a radical shift in the nature of war-the
realization of conflict in the cyber-realm, the so-called "fifth
domain " of warfare. Does an aggressive act in the cyber-realm
constitute an act of war? If so, what rules should govern such
warfare? Are the standard theories of just war capable of analyzing
and assessing this mode of conflict? These changing circumstances
present us with a series of questions demanding serious attention.
Is there such a thing as cyberwarfare? How do the existing rules of
engagement and theories from the just war tradition apply to
cyberwarfare? How should we assess a cyber-attack conducted by a
state agency against private enterprise and vice versa?
Furthermore, how should actors behave in the cyber-realm? Are there
ethical norms that can be applied to the cyber-realm? Are the
classic just war constraints of non-combatant immunity and
proportionality possible in this realm? Especially given the idea
that events that are constrained within the cyber-realm do not
directly physically harm anyone, what do traditional ethics of war
conventions say about this new space? These questions strike at the
very center of contemporary intellectual discussion over the ethics
of war. In twelve original essays, plus a foreword from John
Arquilla and an introduction, Binary Bullets: The Ethics of
Cyberwarfare, engages these questions head on with contributions
from the top scholars working in this field today.
