Setting the Limit for AI Weaponry in the Changing Nature of Modern Warfare

In an age when algorithms dictate almost every aspect of our lives, from social media feeds in daily life to missile trajectories in national and international decisions, Artificial Intelligence should be studied beyond purely technological curiosity in its application to warfare in reshaping the boundaries of security, ethics, and human rights. This paper explores the transformative role of AI in modern warfare, focusing on Israel’s deployment of AI-driven weaponry and its influential power in reshaping the future of armed conflict. The research delves into how the diminished role of human oversight has contributed to targeting inaccuracies and civilian casualties in the current war in Palestine.

Ethical and Legal Considerations for Biomedical Performance Enhancement in the Military

Since antiquity, exceeding the natural capacities of human beings has always been a concern for states and cities. With advancements in medicine and biotechnology, all major world powers are now exploring new ways to increase the psychological and physical capacities of their soldiers. The use of pharmacological products could, in theory, be used to improve soldier strength, mental capacity, recovery, and resistance to fatigue and trauma. However, the ethical and legal frameworks within which the use of pharmacological technology would be acceptable remains uncertain. Debates surrounding the use of performance enhancement drugs often revolve around concerns regarding safety and side effects. This paper seeks to go beyond those concerns and examine the ethical and legal considerations, assuming these products are safe and approved for military use.
