Autonomous weapons systems, often referred to as 'killer robots',
have been a hallmark of popular imagination for decades. However,
with the inexorable advance of artificial intelligence systems (AI)
and robotics, killer robots are quickly becoming a reality. These
lethal technologies can learn, adapt, and potentially make life and
death decisions on the battlefield with little-to-no human
involvement. This naturally leads to not only legal but ethical
concerns as to whether we can meaningful control such machines, and
if so, then how. Such concerns are made even more poignant by the
ever-present fear that something may go wrong, and the machine may
carry out some action(s) violating the ethics or laws of war.
Researchers, policymakers, and designers are caught in the quagmire
of how to approach these highly controversial systems and to figure
out what exactly it means to have meaningful human control over
them, if at all. In Designed for Death, Dr Steven Umbrello aims to
not only produce a realistic but also an optimistic guide for how,
with human values in mind, we can begin to design killer robots.
Drawing on the value sensitive design (VSD) approach to technology
innovation, Umbrello argues that context is king and that a middle
path for designing killer robots is possible if we consider both
ethics and design as fundamentally linked. Umbrello moves beyond
the binary debates of whether or not to prohibit killer robots and
instead offers a more nuanced perspective of which types of killer
robots may be both legally and ethically acceptable, when they
would be acceptable, and how to design for them.
