NZZ FORMAT: How drones and autonomous weapons are changing warfare

The war in Ukraine shows it: Combat drones are becoming increasingly intelligent, autonomous, and are being used more and more frequently. NZZ Format has made a documentary about this.

What is certain: The development is accelerated by artificial intelligence. It will change wars. Superpowers down to small states are relying on autonomous networked weapon systems. If one side has autonomous weapons, then the other side must catch up, which is a great danger, warns internationally active drone expert Ulrike Franke. The race towards this has begun. This raises new ethical and legal questions: How autonomous can weapons be? Will algorithms soon decide on life and death instead of humans? Can the development still be regulated at all? Experts are skeptical. A "NZZ Format" on modern warfare: HERE is the complete video directly at NZZ.
