The Artificial Intelligence Arms Race: Trends and World Leaders in Autonomous Weapons Development

Justin Haner and Denise Garcia

Global Policy, 2019, vol. 10, issue 3, 331-337

Abstract: Autonomous weapons technologies, which rely on artificial intelligence, are advancing rapidly and without sufficient public debate or accountability. Oversight of increased autonomy in warfare is critically important because this deadly technology is likely to proliferate rapidly, enhance terrorist tactics, empower authoritarian rulers, undermine democratic peace, and is vulnerable to bias, hacking, and malfunction. The top competitors in this arms race are the United States, China, Russia, South Korea, and the European Union.
