International Committee for Robot Arms Control

Professor Elke Schwartz has spent the last decade asking, when a machine helps decide who dies, who is left holding the moral responsibility? She's a professor of political theory at Queen Mary University London.

She's the author of Death Machines, The Ethics of Violent Technologies, and vice chair of the International Committee for Robot Arms Control.

Her research focuses on the intersection of ethics of war and the ethics of technology.

She traces how autonomous and AI-enabled weapons change what's possible on the battlefield and how they change the psychology of the people operating them.
