Responsibility of war industry for lethal autonomous weapons systems

Abstract

International Responsibility of War Industry offers a new perspective on who is actually involved in war industry but do not necessarily bear responsibility for their contribution to armed conflicts and compliance with international values. It puts forward a novel theory about how these participants influence humanitarian crises. The book analyses an original, longitudinal dataset, on responsibility of various (both corporate and individual) participants of war industry, including states, international organizations, non-state armed groups, individuals, and private companies for effects of hostilities stemming from decisions made in tandem by humans and neural networks (within or without the human–machine relationship).
