There is much to be said about Artificial Intelligence and emerging technology, but even as a lot of it is used for good, there are concerns of misusing or abusing AI and emerging technology in both explicit and implicit ways--even to the point of infringing on basic human rights. It is on this thought that authors’ thoughts and findings in the book Artificial Intelligence, Emerging Technology, and Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems: Security, Moral, and Ethical Perspectives in Asia is discussed in this special episode of Peace Perspectives. Published by Nonviolence International Southeast Asia, this paper explores the need to expose how AI and emerging technologies have eventually led to advancements in weaponry. There is a growing concern on Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems or LAWS, especially in countries with human rights and security issues. This is something that governments must address, not just in a legal and ethical way but also from a humanitarian perspective.
