Episode 14: [The Dark Side of AI: Autonomous Weapons ] - Future Tech Pulse

In this critical and sobering episode of Future Tech Pulse, host Kevin Francis examines the high-stakes reality of artificial intelligence on the modern battlefield: Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems (LAWS). From AI-targeted drone swarms and automated air defense to real-time battlefield decision algorithms, software is rapidly taking control of warfare. We explore the profound moral, operational, and geopolitical questions surrounding algorithmic combat. What happens when machines make life-or-death decisions without human intervention? Can software comply with international humanitarian law? Tune in as we confront the urgent debate over keeping a human in the loop before algorithms decide who lives and who dies.
