Summary
Details

"What would you do if your country went to war because of an algorithm? Or, what would you do if robots began talking with one another, and created their own battlefield plans without humans? These questions might sound ""out there."" But, in fact, they are real possibilities. All over the world, a new breed of machines and systems are being developed for war. They will not be controlled by people. They will be fully-autonomous, and armed. Some call these new machines and systems, ""autonomous weapons."" But, there is another expression for them: killer robots. Soon, warfare and world affairs might not be controlled only by humans. Alongside humans, there may be killer robots that could make all kinds decisions. The decisions killer robots make could transform global power, give nations a new competitive edge, or even lead to major conflicts. For the first time, technology will be making decisions, and humans will be playing catch up. From the mind of Abishur Prakash, the world's leading geopolitical futurist and author of the groundbreaking Next Geopolitics book series, comes a book that dives deep into killer robots, and what they mean for the world. It goes beyond the common fears of killer robots taking over the world, and examines areas that have not been touched on before, such as: What kind of ethics should exist to control killer robots? How might killer robots change geopolitics? What role will defense and technology companies play? How can institutions utilize killer robots? And much, much more. This book is for those leaders who believe killer robots are on the horizon. It is for those leaders who believe a new era for warfare and world affairs is about to begin. It is for those leaders who seek to prepare their countries and companies for an age where killer robots may make decisions that change the global economy, societies, political systems, and humanity itself."
