SUMMARY:LUCIR Lecture: Future Warfare and Civilian Protection
DESCRIPTION:Project Ploughshares Senior Researcher Branka Marijan will be g
 iving a lecture at the Leiden University Centre for International Relation
 s in the Hague\, Netherlands. Branka will be speaking about the protectio
 n of civilians and future warfare.\n\nAI warfighting and legal\, ethical a
 nd technical concerns\nMilitaries are increasingly integrating new technol
 ogies\, such as artificial intelligence\, into warfighting transforming th
 e contemporary and future battlefields. These new technologies raise a num
 ber of legal\, ethical and technical concerns. Crucially\, important quest
 ions remain regarding the protection of civilians as increasingly autonomo
 us systems are deployed. The need for a multi-layered governance approach\
 , including an international agreement that prohibits and sets limits on p
 articular uses of autonomous systems in warfare\, will be examined. Our sp
 eaker Branka Marijan has followed the ongoing United Nations process on au
 tonomous weapons for over seven years and provides insight into possible w
 ays to overcome the largely stalled discussion.
