The Disarmament and International Security Committee (DISEC) is currently discussing lethal autonomous robots (LARs). Talks have arisen concerning the ethics of these robots. However, along with the many delegates talking about the cons of LARs, there are also numerous delegates who are talking about the potential benefits of these LARs.
These pros include preserving the lives of civilians by having robots engage in battle instead. Russia, a member of the P5 and a world leader, has stated that it has fully accepted and has started to adapt to LARs. With world leaders starting to adapt to these LARs, many questions are left unanswered.
According to other delegates, there are copious amounts of concerns surrounding LARs. These concerns vary depending on the hackers, who may be able to hack into LARs’ programs to the ethicality of robots killing humans. Furthermore, delegates bring up the question of why we need LARs in the first place. Delegates were also pointing out that humans are no longer in control of LARs. This means that countries are no longer in control of what happens during wars and conflicts. Is this what technology and humanity has gone to? Have robots taken over the world already?
In today’s society, technology is developing at an alarming rate. With talks of technology taking over the job industry, many believe technology is slowly but surely taking over our lives.
