Comment by Marie-des-Neiges Ruffo de Calabre

Philosopher specializing in military ethics and researcher at the University of Namur's CRIDS.
However, giving autonomy to the firing decision itself constitutes a moral red line that must not be crossed. There is a growing consensus among scholars of the ethics of war that the use of AI-controlled lethal autonomous weapons is contrary to the principles of a just war. Human judgment must remain central in the decision-making loop for firing – for moral, practical, and safety reasons.
