Abstract
AI Warfare and the Law, published as a full volume of International Law Studies, analyzes the legal implications of the introduction of AI technologies into the design of weapon systems and the potential use of AI in connection with military activities. It considers several discrete but related bodies of international law as well as significant aspects of domestic and human rights law. Its key aim is to work out how the law will impact the use of AI technologies and what AI technologies must be able to do if they are to satisfy legal requirements. A further purpose of the book is to identify what roles people play in the creation, integration, introduction into service, and subsequent employment of AI-enhanced weapon systems. Having explained the applicable law, the book identifies what requirements the law places on the discharge of duties by those individuals. In sum, the central purpose of the book is to meet head-on the legal challenges posed by the development and use of AI in warfare and to offer the author’s proposed answers.
