Civilian harm probability thresholds for autonomous weapons

Assessing impacts and setting thresholds for civilian safety in warfare technology.

Innovative Research on Autonomous Weapons

Exploring ethical implications and performance metrics of autonomous weapon systems through rigorous analysis and expert consultation.

A close-up view of advanced, military-style equipment that appears to be a surveillance or targeting system. The setup includes multiple cylindrical components suggesting a multi-barrel design and an adjacent black device resembling a camera or sensor with a lens. The background features red, vertical columns with orange tops, indicating an architectural setting.

Autonomous Weapons Research

Combining quantitative analysis with qualitative evaluation for ethical threshold setting in warfare.

A robotic vehicle with caterpillar tracks is positioned on a paved sidewalk next to a graffiti-painted wall. The graffiti features a large green and blue star-like shape. There is a cardboard box lying on the ground nearby. The scene appears to be a construction or demolition site, with a yellow excavator visible in the background behind a wire fence.
