The introduction of artificial intelligence and autonomy into warfare will have profound and unforeseen consequences for national security and human society. This course prepares future policymakers and industry leaders for the complex debate surrounding the developmental, legal, ethical, and operational considerations of creating machines with the ability to apply lethal force. Students will gain a detailed and multi-perspective understanding of the associated opportunities and risk by lectures and discussions with expert guest speakers and a cohort of students from a variety of disciplines and backgrounds. There will be two days of class each week. One day is a lecture session and the other is a discussion session. The lecture session will occasionally have guest lecturers with recent real-world experience in the topic and is intended to expose students to current knowledge and perspectives. The following discussion session will be an opportunity to digest, and reflect on, the ideas from lecture, but will also be a chance for group work on graded assignments. No experience in the content is necessary. Varying perspectives are essential in any conversation on this topic. Undergrads also welcome.
