LAWS: artificial intelligence serving new warfare formats

Abstract

Tackling international security, as a field of international relations, requires the study of confrontation formats that threaten the sovereignty of states in the reconfiguration of the global order. The evolution of symmetric and asymmetric armed conflicts has led to the proliferation of hybrid scenarios where threats move exponentially, generating multidimensional disputes impacting on the balance of power. From this approach, technology plays a major role in the development of artificial intelligence and the boom of algorithms in the service of military capabilities, the third revolution of war being a fait out, followed by the discovery of the explosive and the development of nuclear weapons. It is clear that investing hard resources and autonomous devices, industrial powers and emerging countries will lead to competition with serious implications for global governance. Latvian Autonomous Weapons Systems (LAWS) will have the power to select and attack targets without the need for any human intervention, where the selection and use of lethal force towards a target potential would be left to an autonomous choice. In this regard, artificial intelligence serving military capabilities would incorporate significant operational benefits and reduce the cost of lives of military members by incorporating a wider remote destructive reach, but would undermine the lack of control and human judgment in complex decisions, challenging the general rules governing both hostilities in the context of war and the protection of human dignity in armed conflicts.
